I love Whitney Houston's rendition of The Little Drummer Boy. There's this one line where she sings, "He smiled at me," and it melts my heart. What must it have been like for Jesus to smile at you? To know the Messiah had come, was walking and living amongst you, and He was shining His face upon you. AWESOME! That must have been completely and totally AWESOME!!!
What must it have been like for Mary to have a perfect child? She had the other hooligans and perfect Jesus. When she asked Him to take the laundry out and hang it up, no grumbling. When she asked Him to pick up the toys, He didn't say, "Roro had those," or "Baby had that." When she took Him to the marketplace, waiting in line to get Hanukkah pictures developed, He stayed beside her. He didn't run off to the M & M display, grab a bag of M & Ms, eat them, have drooly chocolate all around His mouth, then act as if He did nothing wrong. Nope Mary never had that problem with Jesus. Nope that seemingly something only babies do. And I bet if Jesus' younger siblings had acted that way in the marketplace, He wouldn't have asked if He could have some M & Ms too. You know since the baby had already opened the bag and all.
Whomever God gave the wisdom to to make shopping carts should have been given a Nobel Peace Prize and put on the cover of a Wheaties box. We are officially never going into another store without using one. And I'm not really caring that Jory is almost too big for that. Nope not caring at all.
