Good morning ladies and gents. Flag-o-Gram.
All I want for Christmas is my Flag ping list. Really, I don't have it with me, so if I missed you, my apologies.

Hi miss Feather.
Bittygirl is on sensory (and chocolate) overload already. We haven't even opened most of the presents yet.
She received a baby doll stroller (to go with the unopened doll) and is having a blast giving here stuffed kitty rides everywhere.

A Blessed Merry Christmas
To all my Free Republic friends

First Breath
All things were created through Him and for Him. —Colossians 1:16
|
Russell Nagy's moving choral anthem "The Promise" contains these words:
Silently by night,
in mortal flesh enshrouded,
He who framed the mountains
draws first breath.
Far from human sight,
the Promise ne'er forgotten
Is in love begotten
to conquer death.
© 1993 by High Street Music
The marvel of Christmas is that the Maker of the mountains took His first breath as a baby. The One who framed the universe assumed human flesh so He could save us. The incarnation is the astounding combination of who descended from heaven to earth, how He arrived, and why He came. "For by Him all things were created . . . . And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. . . . For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, . . . having made peace through the blood of His cross" (Colossians 1:16-20).
When Jesus took His first breath on earth, a loving promise of God the Father was fulfilled. The Christ-child whom the angels announced and the shepherds proclaimed had come to die.
The baby in the manger was "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation" (v.15), "in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins" (v.14).
O come, let us adore Him! —David McCasland
The tiny Baby in the manger is the mighty Creator of the universe.

The old man received a lawn in a box. Really. I got about 5 pounds of Buffalo Grass seed. Maybe I can get rid of the @$#%@$#^^&%&$# Bermuda we have now.
Explanation required?
