On the Ninth Day


On this ninth day of Christmas I consider that this really is a 12 day party for the Christ child. The Magi are on their way with their gifts, and they're trying to figure out what they will find as the follow the star.

What kind of King he will be which causes stars to change their cosmic paths?

He's the kind of King who was a baby, then a child. Scripture says that as he grew, he grew in stature and wisdom.

There's a story told that when he was still a child, he sat in a temple and had a conversation with some elders which lasted several days. I know about those kinds of talks.

It is my privilege to be the mother of two children. It is an understatement to say they are cool. They show me things that I'm too jaded and old to notice any more. They think things that I haven't thought in a long time-if ever. This week they go back to school after a two week vacation. Today is their last day at home.

I've really enjoyed having them home, and I'm a little sorry to see it come to an end. So, we've got a monopoly game planned this morning. Maybe we'll pull out the chocolate fondue and make a big mess, then maybe we'll walk around the park if it isn't snowing too much so I can exercise some of the calories off. And we'll have some conversations so I can learn something.

They are indeed cool kids. My hubby thinks they are very cool and he is quite the cool character.

Yeah. I guess I'll keep them.

Well, it is a lot of trouble to break in new ones.
