I close my eyes, and I am there. A tiny babe nestled within his mother's arms as a great multitude of angels proclaims the Glory of God. Peace rains down from a Heavenly light.
There is warmth found here in a lowly stable. Animals lull in quiet reverence of the newborn King. A love so real fills every fiber of my being as tears stream down this woman's face, humbled by this beloved sight that lay before my eyes.
I find myself down on my knees. I stretch out my trembling hand to brush his tiny brow. The radiant mother nods with a permissive smile. And I quietly whisper to her son, "Welcome to my world."
