SOMEONE ELSE'S BIRTHDAY
By Sally I. Kennedy
December 25, 2010

She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and
placed him in a manger. Luke 2:7

After Christmas, a few years ago, I received an email from a family
friend, a young mom who was commenting on her toddler's take on
Christmas.

"I think my son will really look forward to Christmas next year - now
that he gets it - on the kid level anyway. He knows it is Jesus'
Birthday and I think he's pretty impressed that on someone else's
birthday - he gets all the gifts!"

Short and sweet. Profound truth. The "kid level" is where I hope I'm
at now this time of year has rolled around. For a lot of reasons,
particularly because it's Someone else's birthday.

Happy birthday, Jesus!
