Fire Ant Flickers (#17) — The Year End Edition
The Lord of all creation is now with us…
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” [Luke 2:8-11 (NIV)]
I’ve been posting the lyrics to “Mary, Did You Know” each Christmas for two decades, and I haven’t yet found a reason to stop. I hope you agree with that decision.
