She gave birth
to her first born son.
LUKE 2:7
|
Were you born in a
nice clean hospital with doctors to take care of you? God could have sent
Jesus to earth in a flaming chariot pulled by angels, but he didn't. Jesus
was born like all other people on earth. But he wasn't born in a nice
hospital. There were no doctors to help his mother, or care for him.
- Mary and Joseph
were in a small stable when Jesus was born Mary wrapped her new baby in
strips of cloth. There was no bed to lay him in. Just a manger, a place
where the animal's food was kept. But, Jesus was born like all other
people on earth.
- Maybe Mary wished
she could lay her new baby in a soft bed. But she knew that God's plan was
best.
How does a
brand new baby look?
- Look at a
picture of you when you were a little baby.
- How did you
look ?
Dear God,
- It must have
been hard for you to send Jesus to be born as a baby. Thank you that he
was. Since he was a person like me, he understands how I feel.
- Amen.
- Love, Tia Célia
