Last Sunday WFBC participated in our Westminster Christmas parade. We had such a blast! Imagine first of all, it was FREEZING out there ( never mind that I don't usually get cold) , all the kiddos were dressed in their warm clothes with blankets, hats, gloves. I LOVE to see kids dressed in their warm clothes all cuddled up- SO cute- and smashed together on our float. I loved seeing them jingling their bells, singing at the top of their lungs, waving, handing out candy, celebrating and wholly enjoying this presentation of christmas cheer.
I was reminded today as I get ready for our Christmas presentation, that there was an original Christmas parade, that began with a star leading the way, angel(s) on high telling about the birth of Jesus. Next came some overzealous, scraggly shepherds coming in from a night of sheep watching to worship Him, and finally the climax- three kings~ along with their entourages coming withy pomp and pagentry to give the REAL king presents! Awesome to imagine, isn't it? How would you respond to this scene? Would you sit and be a observer on the sidelines? I would not want to miss the excitement that I felt on our parde route and just watch, I want to particiapate! I want to join the ultimate parade this year. I want to go WORSHIP the KING. I want to clap and wave . I want to come humbly and worship at the feet of my Lord and bring him my heart this Christmas. How about you?
