Glory to the newborn king!

And with that, I wish everyone a peace filled and joyful Christmas celebration.  I'll be around for the next week or so, but tomorrow?  I'm with the family, feasting, celebrating, relaxing, and taking in the peace of Christ which surpasses all human understanding.  May that peace fill your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Merry Christmas everyone, Merry Christmas to my lovely wife and wonderful boys, to my family, and to you Dad - you're still with us in our hearts and memories.  Amen.

Yes, the wise still seek him.  And so do the humble.

"And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
 
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
 
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
 
       Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."

King James Version
