A Birth!

Luke 2: 7
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger…
 
Attached is a picture of our second grandchild, Macyn, who was born to Jake & Ashley Gibson late Monday evening.
As you would expect, this old grandpa thinks this baby is perfect.
 
Macyn was 1 of 370,000 babies born into this world, on the same day.
As blessed as this Poppy feels right now, there was a baby who tops all the rest.
 
When Jesus was born, there wasn’t a team of doctors or midwives, or even a sterile environment.
I have to wonder though, what the Heavenly Father must have thought, when He snuck a peak of this baby wrapped in cloths.
 
Jesus was perfect, in every way.
As much as I hate to admit, Macyn isn’t.
 
As cute as your baby picture is, there’s no comparing it to Jesus.
I’m so very glad this baby came so long ago—because my imperfect granddaughter, so much needs this perfect Jesus…and so do all of us… 
 
·         What is this text of scripture, trying to teach me?
·         How am I currently falling short of the mark?
·         What am I really willing to change?
·         How can I make this change, a habit in my everyday life?
