Luke 2:6 NASB "While they were there, the time came for her to give birth."I remember it well! Today's verse, while simple as it is, speaks of Jesus' Birth! As I held her hand and told her to breath, it was time for our first daughter to be born. It was an exciting and yet scary time. The birth of a child can bring so many emotions like joy, happiness, hope, and of course fear. Fear regarding how we would handle having a child to raise. I can't imagine what Joseph and Mary were thinking that night as they knew the Savior of the world was being born unto them. The thoughts that must have been running through their minds, how will they handle His Birth and Life. I wonder if we have the same thoughts when it comes to allowing Jesus into our life. I can share that Jesus brings hope, joy, happiness, and even some pain along the way but it is all worth it to let the birth of our Savior come into our world. The shepherds rejoiced, the Wisemen wanted to meet Him, and I ask, is it time for Jesus to be born into our life?! peace, tom
