Mary, Did You Know
“Mary, did you know…
that your baby boy would
one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know…
that your baby boy would one day
save our sons and daughters?
Did you know…
that your baby boy has
come to make you new?
This child that you delivered
will soon deliver you?”
~ Mark Lowry

Moo-erry Christmas!

is the place to begin Christmas;

first air that the Christ Child breathed.”
