TSMS - Sav(or)ing It

I'm one who is ready to take the tree down as soon as Christmas is over. In fact, if we weren't out of town, it would already be down. Partly because it bothers my sinuses and partly because I like to enjoy the remainder of the holidays and start the new year without the task hanging over my head. And while I enjoy the tree and the anticipation of Christmas, once the gifts are unwrapped, it just becomes something that is in my way and a looming chore.

But oh, how important it is not to throw out the baby with the bath water pack up the heart of Christmas with all the trappings. This song by Third Day has a beautiful message. May we continue to savor the blessed truths of Christmas.

What kind of King would come so small
From glory to a humble stall?
That dirty manger is my heart, too
I'll make it a royal throne for You

MANGER THRONE

What kind of King would leave His throne
In Heaven to make this earth His home?
While men seek fame and great renown
In loneliness our King comes down

Jesus, Jesus, precious One
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious One
A manger throne for God’s own Son

You left the sound of angels' praise
To come for men with unkind ways
And by this Baby's helplessness
The power of nations is laid to rest

What kind of King would come so small
From glory to a humble stall?
That dirty manger is my heart, too
I'll make it a royal throne for You

My heart is a throne
My heart is a throne for God's own Son
