Today, I am celebrating the Real Christmas Story. Today, I am celebrating the swaddling clothes. The dictionary tells me that these are narrow strips of cloth that are used to swaddle young infants. The intellectual part of me understands that this swaddling is a prediction of his death and the clothes that used to wrap Him in then. The former juvenile delinquent chaplain can only come up with a line from the Best Christmas Pageant ever: Tied up and thrown in a feeding trough! Where was Child Welfare?
I am still reflecting on the humble beginnings of the King of Kings. I feel more ready to celebrate Christmas than I ever have! How about you? Are you ready to celebrate, really celebrate: Emanuel, God with us?
Luke 2:12 This is how you will know him: You will find a baby wrapped in pieces of cloth and lying in a feeding box.”
