Eve. The night before Christmas. When children will wish away the hours until dawn, and fidget in their beds. And at the same time, mom and dad will pray the hours stretch out long enough to get just a bit of shut-eye before little feet skitter across the bedroom floor at the very first light of day.
Eve. The one who ate the apple and then wished she had a robe to wear and prayed the hours would stretch out long enough to find a place to hide. And at the same time, God already knew and loved in spite of all of that. In that very moment, for a staggering price, He chose the most amazing gift to woo her from her hiding place, and light the way back to Him.
A note: The Sunday link-up will be live tonight, but today I'd like to wish you a wonderful celebration of the coming Christ. After tomorrow's post, I'll be taking a break. There will be a guest post next Wednesday, and I hope you'll stop by to check it out. But other than that, I'll be away until next Saturday night, with the Sunday link-up for New Year's Day.
Thank you for all the ways you live community here. Grace and peace to you. In abundance.
