ONE OF THE WAYS MY DAUGHTER AND I FOCUS ON WHAT COUNTS , MATTERS  AT CHRISTMAS IS OUR JESUS STOCKING. I HAVE MADE A STOCKING AND DECORATED IT WITH THE NAME JESUS... EACH DAY WE TAKE TIME TO HAVE A MOMENT AND WRITE ONE OF OUR BLESSINGS FROM THE LORD... SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR. THE OTHER THING WE DO IS PUT UP A NATIVITY.... I DID SOME SEARCHING WHEN GROWING IN MY FAITH... WHERE AND HOW OUR BABY JESUS WAS BORN. IT WAS CAVE VERY DARK AND SMELLY FOR IT WAS WHERE YOU PUT YOUR TRAVEL ANIMAL TO REST FROM A LONG JOURNEY. THERE WERE OTHER ANIMALS THAT WERE THERE AS WELL SHEEP AND EVEN A CAMEL OR TWO.

THIS IS WHERE MARY GAVE BIRTH SURROUNDED BY THE SMELLS AND SOUNDS OF THE ANIMALS... SHE BIRTHED BABY JESUS INTO OUR WORLD...SHE THAN WRAPPED HIM WARM AND LAID HIM DOWN IN A FEEDING TROUGH FOR HIS BED WHICH WAS MADE OF  STRAW. WOW! WHAT A TIME THAT MUST OF BEEN FOR HER... SHE WAS SO YOUNG, WE CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE OR COMPREHEND WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE TODAY. A BIRTH TODAY WE RECORD THE PENDING DATE ON THE CALENDAR WITH BAG PACKED, FOR A TRIP TO THE  HOSPITAL WITH EVERYTHING SPOTLESS AND BLEACHED. I KNOW FOR MYSELF I HAD A C-SECTION AND IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN WHAT MARY HAD TO ENDURE.

.

Awake, glad heart! get up and sing! It is the birth-day of thy King. Awake! awake! The Sun doth shake Light from his locks, and all the way Breathing perfumes, doth spice the day. Awake, awake! hark how th' wood rings; Winds whisper, and the busy springs A concert make; Awake! awake! Man is their high-priest, and should rise To offer up the sacrifice. I would I were some bird, or star, Flutt'ring in woods, or lifted far Above this inn And road of sin! Then either star or bird should be Shining or singing still to thee. I would I had in my best part Fit rooms for thee! or that my heart Were so clean as Thy manger was! But I am all filth, and obscene; Yet, if thou wilt, thou canst make clean. Sweet Jesu! will then. Let no more This leper haunt and soil thy door! Cure him, ease him, O release him! And let once more, by mystic birth, The Lord of life be born in earth... LORD JESUS WATCH OVER ALL AND KEEP THEM SAFE WITH YOUR COVERING OF PROTECTIONS AMEN. PEACE BLESSINGS TO ALL MUCH  PROSPERITY >>)))>
