You are the Miracle of Christmas
I am what Jesus is
because Jesus became what I am.
Christmas came and went
almost unnoticed.
But after all the running around
and anxiety about finding it,
There it was
6 lbs. 8 ounces and growing
her given name: Milagro (Miracle).
So we almost missed it again…
but then we found her
in a poor house
just like Bethlehem.
Thanks to this miracle
we looked around and
found them everywhere
with muddy feet and bright faces.
I never thought this was really Christmas
until now I understand Bethlehem.
It was a real place
just like right here,
Where the star came to rest
and a baby was born.
