God's Baby Steps: A Brand New New

A BABY CHANGES EVERYTHING
We had a baby. Anyone seeing my Facebook must know that. And yes, I know I'm probly overdoing it with the baby pics.
Our lives have never been the same.
Some of those ways are really hard, and I still come to grips with how hard.
Some of those ways are a daily blast of radiant joy, of a quality that surprises me even tho just about everyone told me to be prepared. This too I'm still coming to grips with.

A BABY CHANGED EVERYTHING
The Christmas story is, in one sense, a baby story of such world-changing magnitude that it need a virgin birth.
Life itself was never the same.
The road for the parents was really hard. The baby's grown-up life was no cakewalk either.
The purpose for the hardness was a constant blast of radiant joy, of a quality I (and many others, like Sam and Charlie here) are still coming to grips with.

I'd thought of writing more, but I think I'm happy with leaving this short, and letting you get on this with this day.
May yours be merry & bright. Merry Christmas!
