QUOTES

Love came down at Christmas;
love all lovely, love divine;
love was born at Christmas,
stars and angels gave the sign.
 

 Christina G. Rossetti

Jesus humbled himself.  He went from commanding angels to sleeping in the straw.  From holding stars to clutching Mary's finger.  The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier.
Why?  Because that's what love does.  It puts the beloved before itself.

A Love Worth Giving

Christmas, my child is love in action.
Every time we love,  every time we give,
 it's Christmas.
 
 Dale Evans Rogers

This month the birthday of Jesus Christ will be celebrated all over the world. It will be celebrated in various ways, in many languages, by people of all races. For a few hours many in the world will stop talking of satellites, rockets, and war. For a few hours they will talk of peace on earth and good will toward men. People will exchange their gifts and talk about the Prince of Peace.

~~Billy Graham
Unto the Hills

You'll have no true joy at Christmas If Christ is not in your heart.

--Unknown

From the cradle in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem we've pondered the love of our Father.  What can you say to that kind of emotion?  Upon learning that God would rather die than live without you, how do you react?  How can you begin to explain such passion?
