⁶ For unto us a Child is born,
      Unto us a Son is given;
      And the government will be upon His shoulder.
      And His name will be called
      Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
      Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
       (Isaiah 9:6, New King James Version)
Merry, Merry Christmas! Jesus' birthday is celebrated today and I know I think of that and how He was born in nothing but a barn and how He slept in a manger on a bed of hay. The Son of God was born not in the most ideal setting (in our modern minds) but it set the path Jesus would fulfill in His humility and compassion and the gift of His life to save mankind.
