Woke up with Whitney Houston’s song “Who Would Imagine a King” playing in my head. Here are the lyrics (courtesy of LyricFind).
Mommies and daddies always believe
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king
A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king
It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing your name
That the world would be different ’cause you were alive
That’s what heaven stood still to proclaim
One day an angel said quietly
That soon he would bring something special to me
And of all those wonderful gifts he could bring
Who would imagine, who could imagine
Who would imagine a king
Who knew Jesus would be king? Just imagine how His childhood playmates must’ve felt when they found out He was the Messiah. We read and tell the “Christmas Story” as if it was a fairytale, but it was a real story. Growing up, Jesus had friends and siblings like everyone else. He was human. However, He was also God’s only son and would eventually become our savior.
Today, I am grateful that God chose to send a piece of Himself to the world. Someone who left a blueprint on how to love, show compassion, and hope for a better, brighter future. We are blessed.
Merry Christmas!♥️
