Christmas

I went to a Christmas celebration yesterday and realized something for the first time. Jesus could have been born to any rich man or even a king. He chose to be born in a manger, not even in an inn. Surely it would not be difficult for God to wave His hand and create an empty inn room. He is the ultimate Creator. Jesus had no hospital, no doctors or nurses to wait on Him. He was born in a place where Joseph and Mary had no friends or relatives they could stay with.

Why?
I can only guess.

In a manger, with animals beside Him, how He was born would not be very different from the villagers I see, who give birth in their homes with/without the help of a mid-wife. Our L’d is one who chooses to identify Himself with the poorest people.

‘..so that they would know I understand..’ a whisper said.

Thank You Lord.

JZM flowers

Just got back fr Honghe.. on the hillsides along all the village roads there were these bright yellow daisy looking flowers growing in abundance.. legend has it that they are known as Jiang Ze Min flowers..

once upon a time before he was well known, these flowers were not commonly seen.. but after he became very important in China, these flowers appearing in abundance all over the countryside. Hence they became known as Jiang Ze Min flowers. Hmm. Now dat Cherie is posting for me, the advantage is she knows how to put pics on blogs!!! whahah! Let’s try it out.. thanks dear.!
