thus endeth LaLa's bedtime prayer...


..."and thank you God for the shephermen and their sheep who saw the star in the sky and followed it to baby Jesus. And thank you for Joyboy. Amen."


"The Shephermen were amazing guys, weren't they, Mom?"

They were, sweetie. They had the meek faith to obediently follow God's shining star in the sky and be privy to the historical birth of the Christ child while the rest of the world slept soundly that winter's night. They saw the light and let it lead them to a place where their hearts and lives would be forever altered.

Yes, the 'shephermen were amazing guys'. And in their meek obedience lies my inspiration to follow God's light, even when it unexpectedly shines in the pitch darkness over a random stable in the middle of nowhere. Because there is no other journey so worth the trek, on destination so worth the leap of faith, and no other God whose light is the beacon that sings to my soul.

These little pleasures that bring great joy. Thank you for sharing the 'shephermen' with us that we may all reflect on such innocent awe and, hopefully, share in it.

And may the croup depart from your house.

How true ...

Funny how we both posted about the light (mine in a sarcastic/funny way) of God.
