Glory to our Savior who was born today!
I was standing today in the dark toolshed. The sun was shining outside and through the crack at the top of the door there came a sunbeam. From where I stood that beam of light, with the specks of dust floating in it, was the most striking thing in the place. Everything else was almost pitch-black. I was seeing the beam, not seeing things by it.
The I moved, so that the beam fell on my eyes. Instantly the whole previous picture vanished. I saw no toolshed, and (above all) no beam. Instead I saw, framed in the irregular cranny at the top of the door, green leaves moving on the branches of a tree outside and beyond that, ninety-old million miles away, the sun. Looking along the beam, and looking at the beam are very different experiences.
- C.S. LewisÂ
sometimes, instead of admiring blessings in our lives, we need to see where they come from. “God’s aim is not that we merely admire his gifts, but, even more, his glory” -John Piper.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE<3
P.S. THANK YOU GOD FOR SENDING YOUR ONLY SON, JESUS CHRIST, TO DIE FOR US!!
