Cristian Mejía "De mi mundo": Parto Navideño

Parto Navideño

Hoy es el día de noche buena y nace en nuestros corazones o mejor dicho despierta en nuestros sentimientos algo que a veces olvidamos: el amor.
Al parecer la rutina y las complicaciones de nuestro diario vivir no nos permiten a veces recordarnos y hacer conciencia de lo que verdaderamente cuenta: la salud, la familia y la felicidad .
En esta navidad quiero darles un abrazo, calido y sincero a todos y cada uno de los lectores de este “relajo” de blog. También a tantos amigos(as) , a mis amigos de “ Sabor Artístico”( siempre tan derechos) y a los autores de blogs amigos.

He aqui mi regalo (con sombrero ajeno):

Will the Christ Child Come?

Written by Gaye Willis

One Christmas we had an interesting experience that I would like to share.

Halfway through December we were doing the regular evening things when there

Was a knock at the door. We opened it to find a small package with a beautiful

Ceramic lamb inside. We looked at the calendar and realized that the 12 days Of Christmas were beginning! We waited excitedly for the next night's surprise

And only then, with the gift of a matching shepherd, did we realize that

The lamb was part of a nativity set.Each night we grew more excited to see what piece we would receive. Each was exquisitely beautiful. The kids kept trying to catch the givers

As we slowly built the scene at the manger and began to focus on Christ's birth.

On Christmas Eve, all the pieces were in place, all but the Baby Jesus.

My 12-year-old son really wanted to catch our benefactors and began

To devise all kinds of ways to trap them. He ate dinner in the minivan, Watching and waiting, but no one came. Finally, we called him in to go through Our family's Christmas Eve traditions. But before the kids went to bed, we Checked the front step - - no Baby Jesus! We began to worry that my son Had scared them off. My husband suggested that maybe they dropped the Jesus And there wouldn't be anything coming. Somehow, something was missing that Christmas Eve.

There was a feeling that things weren't complete. The kids went to bed and beforeI went to bed, I again checked to see if the Jesus had come - - no, the doorstep was empty. In our family, the kids can open their stockings when they want to, but they have to wait

To open any presents until Dad wakes up. So one by one they woke up very early and I
Also woke up to watch them. Even before they opened their stockings, each child

Checked to see if perhaps during the night the Baby Jesus had come. Missing that piece of the set seemed to have an odd effect. At least it changed

My focus. I knew there were presents under the tree for me and I was excited

To watch the children open their gifts, but first on my mind was the feeling of Waiting for the ceramic Christ Child. We had opened just about all of the presents

When one of the children found one more for me buried deep beneath the limbs of the tree.He handed me a small package from my former visiting teaching companion. This sister was somewhat less-active in the church. I had been her visiting teacher

For a couple of years and then, when she was asked to be a visiting teacher, she requested

To go with me. I had learned over time they didn't have much for Christmas, so that Their focus was on the children. It sounded like she didn't get many gifts to open,

So I had always given her a small package -- new dish towels, the next year's Relief Society lesson manual -- not much, but something for her to open. I was touched when at church on the day before Christmas, she had given me this Small package, saying it was just a token of her love and appreciation. As I tookOff the bow, I remembered my friendship with her and was filled with gratitude for Knowing her and for her kindness and sacrifice in this giving me a gift. But as thePaper fell away, I began to tremble and cry. There in the small brown box was The Baby Jesus! He had come! I realized on that Christmas Day, that Christ will come into our lives in ways that We don't expect. The spirit of Christ comes into our hearts as we serve one another.We had waited and watched for Him to come, expecting the dramatic "knock at the door And scurrying of feet" but He came in a small, simple package that represented service, Friendship, gratitude and love.This experience taught me that the beginning of the true spirit of Christmas Comes as we open our hearts and actively focus on the Savior. But we will most Likely find Him in the small and simple acts of love, friendship and service that we Give to each other. This Christmas I want to feel again the joy of knowing that ChristIs in our home. I want to focus on loving and serving. More than that, I want to open My heart to Him all year that I may see Him again.

May the spirit of Christ be with you and yours this Christmas and always. . .
