Dan,

Sorry to hear of your Christmas experience. Your visitor came to our small dot in Australia as well. Reminded me of Cape Canaveral on launch day.

Appreciated your thoughts about our precious Saviour,Lord and Brother.

Ah yes, Norovirus came down our chimney two years ago. Within 12 hours of our extended family feast, there were many of us wretched sinners wretching. Sounds funny now, but it could have killed my elderly parents who still lived alone. I was so sick that I didn’t even call them for a couple of days and found out what was going on there. It was not pretty.
It is amazing, though, what it takes sometimes to get us down on our knees…even if we bow over the porcelain bowl.
And to think that the Creator of the whole universe would pour Himself into such frail and decaying mankind. He willingly came as a helpless infant with a dirty diaper. For me. Why does it take a virus to get me to appreciate that fact?

Can any of us really grasp the concept of the King of Glory, perfect in every way becoming human and taking full part in the human experience.

All of it, everything, that’s what he experienced. Joy, sadness, strength, weakness, temptation, victory, health, sickness, the death of loved ones, school, chores, hot summers with no air conditioning, cold winters with no heating, hunger, thirst everything.

It’s too much for me to grasp what He gave up when he became immanuel. Thank you for reminding me of that and renewing the wonder of Christmas!

Sorry you were sick but God has used it for good!
