O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Below is one of my favorite Christmas reflections from Lisa Jo Baker from an email from December 2017 that I think of every year and especially every time I see this new banner Saranell gave me for this year's Christmas decor below:  

Come.
Come, Lord Jesus. Come.
Come.
Into our tired homes and tired hearts. Into our completely imperfect decorations and the nights when we lose it. The mornings when we scream because someone dropped red pasta sauce onto our new white fuzzy Target blanket. (Yes that happened here).
Come into our apologies, our do-overs, our hugs, our last minute spelling practices.
Come, Lord Jesus.
Come and be with us, in us, for us.
Come. Please come.

Oh Come, O Come Emmanuel
