WONDERFUL

"For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given:

And the government shall be upon His shoulder,

And His name shall be called

Wonderful..."

My heart's fullness is unable to describe Him without tears of devotion caused by His work of endearment in my life. Meerly contemplating Him and who He is to me is nothing less than overwhelming, in a most precious way. So in my wonderings I write of Him...the Wonderful One.

Bending over a baby's bed, reaching down to bring him into a new day, face still puffy from a night's rest, baby smiles when he sees me....Jesus is near...He is Wonderful!
****************
Pulling back the curtains in our berth on a ship and unexpectedly I'm greeted by a window filled to overflowing with a massive, snow-capped mountain range, with a tiny peninsula holding a seemingly
miniature house and lighthouse, beaming....Jesus created it and knows I'm overjoyed...He is Wonderful!
***************

Traveling many miles, a funeral of a sweet friend, arriving too late for the service, I watch as the friends, family leave the little country chapel to stand next to a gaping hole that will hold the casket , now she is with Jesus and He helps me say good-bye from my car, in the rain as I think of her and see my friends walking together through the aged trees ......Jesus was there ..with me..with them...with her...He is Wonderful!
***************

Watching as someone, who had their doubts, walked a rebellious road, now profess their renewed love for Christ ...their life changed, redeemed, prayers answered.....Jesus saves...He is Wonderful!
***************

Knowing I'm helpless to change things that are heart- wrenching... but He is not...so I pray.... He is Wonderful!
**************
Today....today as we go through the motions of life...He is always here and there and He is called Wonderful.
May we not miss the miracle of His presence. His beauty. His love.

Immanuel,... God with us,....You are Wonderful!
