3 Days of Christmas - Celebration - Bijou Planks 358/365

Monday at Tracy Parks' home and the girls are frantically trying to get everything set for the Christmas Eve party tomorrow... and having mixed results.

"URF!"

"I... I can't reach that... lift it higher..."

"What am I, Gooliope?"*

"Wait, who turned on the lights? They're getting hot to hold!"

"I turned them on!"

"WHY??"

"You said the whole string of lights was heavy so I turned them on to make them lighter!"

"..."

"..."

"BRIAR!!"

"Okay, everyone calm down! We're prepping to celebrate the birth of our Savior, so stop fussing. Jesus thoughts!"

KLUNK!

"GAH! The chair fell out from under me! HAAALLLP!"

Tracy sighs, but smiles. God has blessed her with such good friends that minor catastrophes like this just make it all the more fun. The decorations will eventually get in place. More friends will come tomorrow, and the Lord Jesus will be celebrated.

"Hey, guys, listen up! 'But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”**'

"Oh, cool, that's the Charlie Brown Christmas Special!"

"That's Luke 2, you doof!"

"HAHAHA!"

"Maybe we should pray before continuing. So, you know, Briar doesn't fall and the house doesn't burn down."

"Do we need to hold hands?"

"No! Everyone, PUHLEEZ, stay where you are. Now, Tracy, pray for us."

"Thank you, Buckley. Lord God, we thank you for this wonderful time together. We ask that you bless our efforts so that the celebration tomorrow is happy and, most of all, glorifying to you. And Father, we thank you for-"

"...kinda holding on here..."

"-and thank you Father, and don't let Briar fall, amen!"

"AMEN!"

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.

We celebrate seven days of Christmas 2024! Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. God come to save His people. Without Christmas, without the Incarnation of the virgin birth, the work of Christ would not have begun and we would have no hope.

Born in lowly, despised conditions, lived a life of poverty and struggle, brutally executed on a cross. This is not how we would have written the story of our Redeemer, but that's because we always fatally miss the reality of the vast difference between our sin and God's holiness. We think we're 'not that bad' and thus we fail to recognize the distance that must be bridged and thus the harsh magnificence of the required exchange.

Jesus was born to die that we may live. If you have not, seek God and beg His mercy today.

"But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’" Luke 18:13
