Swaddling Clothes

This idea is not original,

but last night it suddenly hit me with

special meaning...

I couldn't fall asleep as my mind raced from 

one worry to another.

 I got my Bible

and decided to see how many 

Old Testament Scriptures

I could find that refer to the 

Birth of Christ.

As the prophets inserted into seemingly oblique

passages glimpses of what was to come

in Bethlehem one Holy night,

I was overwhelmed with the thought

that if you made a strip of cloth and wrote each passage

on it and wrapped it around the Christ Child,

He would be swaddled in the Scriptures!

And if you began to add those references

to His life and death

the manger and stable would be filled with

bolts of Swaddling cloths...

Such a humble place for a King we say?

I say what Rich and Royal Robes

He wore that first Christmas Day.

A blessed and Holy Christmas

filled with joy and peace to All!
