It is now exactly one year since I started the Smidgin. Last night at the Christmas Eve service we again sang “From the Squalor of a Borrowed Stable” and I was reminded of why I like the hymn so much. This year it is the second verse that rings especially true:
King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
Humble servant in the Father’s hands,
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
Filled with mercy for the broken man.
Yes, He walked my road and He felt my pain,
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;
Yet His righteous steps give me hope again -
I will follow my Immanuel!
The words speak for themselves. What a marvelous picture of our Christian faith.
Merry Christmas!
