Sarah's Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
One evening a preschooler, Krystal, and her parents were sitting on the couch chatting. Krystal asked, " Daddy, you're the boss of the house, right?"
Her father proudly replied, "Yes, I am the boss of the house."
But Krystal quickly burst his bubble when she added "Cause Mommy put you in charge, huh Daddy?"
Christmas Quotes:
The gentle Lamb of God who lay in Mary’s arms and who hung limply on the cross will become the Lion of heaven – parting the clouds, calling His people home, and returning to earth as judge. That is the true story of Christmas. The Advent season is not just a commemoration of the past, it’s a celebration for today and a hope for the future. Indeed, Christmas is a promise of salvation and glory we can cherish all year long. (Charles Swindoll)
“He was the God-man; not God indwelling a man. Of such there have been many. Not a man deified. Of such there have been none save in the myths of pagan systems of thought; but God and man, combining in one Personality the two natures, a perpetual enigma and mystery, baffling the possibility of explanation.” (G. Campbell Morgan)
What was it like for infinite God to take on a human body? “The Eternal Being who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus inside a woman’s body. If you want to get the hang of it, think how you would like to become a slug or a crab.” (C. S. Lewis)”

Scripture Reading:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7
