Reflecting on Christmas and my son's name...

This morning, as my household woke up and we began the fun of unwrapping presents, feeding our baby, feeding our coffee addiction, and enjoying Christmas music for one last day; I couldn't help but think about how cool it is to have a new baby to celebrate this Christmas season!

And, to top it off, the name God gave us for our wonderful little baby boy is "Levi" which means "joined in humility".  As I was worshipping Jesus this morning and thanking him for coming as a little baby (and holding my little baby) the way in which Jesus came and joined mankind in humility, to redeem us and set us free, to understand our suffering, to feel temptation like we do, to feel love, hunger, thirst, betrayal, tiredness and frustration as we do truly blew me away!

As God always tends to do, he uses the common every day stuff to show me more of who He is and take me to a deeper love and appreciation for what He came to do for us.  This Christmas, the gospel rings true for me and I pray that it rings true for you as well!
