The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.
"Behold here a sacred riddle or paradox -- ‘God manifest in the flesh.’ That man should be made in God’s image was a wonder, but that God should be made in man’s image is a greater wonder. That the Ancient of Days should be born, that He who thunders in the heavens should cry in the cradle; that He who rules the stars should suck the breast; that a virgin should conceive; that Christ should be made of a woman, and of that woman which He Himself made; that the branch should bear the vine; that the mother should be younger than the child she bare, and the child in the womb bigger than the mother; that the human nature should not be God, yet one with God."
~Thomas Watson, 1600's

This is absolutely awe-inspiring. I am going to share this with all my family.
amazing indeed and I really enjoy reflecting on the fact that Christ was born as a baby of a woman especially this year. Kelly
Your blog is always so refreshing to me. I really enjoy how you single out one of God's attributes with Scripture and of course your photos are fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to your family this Christmas.
How wonderful to be reminded how awe-inspiring the story really is.
