The author talks about all the things they did to prepare for the birth of their 4 children. I was wondering what Mary and Joseph did to prepare their house for the birth of Jesus. Did they have a crib, stroller, baby bottles, stuffed aminals and a several entertainment devices? Wow how different things are today.
ReplyDeleteAs many times as I have sung "Joy to the World", I don't think I ever payed attention to the importance of the line "Let every heart prepare Him room" until now. I'm thankful for the reminder of the preparation that I need to do to prepare my heart for the coming of Christ.
ReplyDeleteDecember is always a hectic time for me, and I'm afraid I do a poor job of making room for Christmas - making room for Christ to come. This year is no exception. I find myself again wondering "How am I going to get all of this done before Christmas" instead of preparing my heart for the wonder that Christmas should be.
