Unto Us a Child is Born....

Merry Christmas to all my friends, and family. I love the hopefulness of the season. A baby is born who will save the world one day. Out of the most innocent, vulnerable, weakest little beginning, an entire world will be rescued. A miracle. God's perfect solution to the problem of sin. Incredibly, He satisfies the need for absolute justice and absolute mercy in a most unexpected but perfect way.

One of the mamas I've been helping who chose life for her baby rather than abortion asked me if I knew of anyone who might have a rocking chair. Her new little baby was having trouble falling asleep, but if rocked in her mama's arms, she would sleep. I put out a plea on Facebook for anyone who might have an unused rocker. Last night, a total stranger wrote to me. Through a friend she had heard of the need. She had found a lovely rocking chair on Craig's list, and would pay for it if I wanted it for my friend. God's love and mercy in action through one of His children. A miracle of kindness. The hope of Christmas that goodness prevails in the end in a most unexpected but perfect way.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
