That's Nothing!

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

Last night the football game moved along quickly enough that I was still up at the end of the first half. There, I got to see a play that the announcers said happens (or is successful) only about once every half century. As I was pondering that privilege, I could almost hear all the friends of Jesus saying, "That's nothing! Every year we celebrate a thing that only occurred once in all of history." Yes, and what a celebration it is! But speaking of turnarounds, both teams I rooted for last night had the lead when I retired to my reading, only to both lose the games by morning when I got up. This Child is gone from us again, but what do you suppose the 'morning' will bring? Those prophecies in this verse for today do not seem to be all completed just yet.

Have a merry Christmas season in our hope for His return!
