A Christmas prayer

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Thought I'd share a snippet of the prayer I'll be praying this morning at church.
Who else has a god like you? What other god would subject himself to the indignity, the mess, the limitedness, the pain and the shame of living amongst our fallen world as a human creature? 
Which other god can say to us of our experiences: "I know. I understand."?   
Which other God has walked our path for us, and qualified us so that we have no need to work our way up to God but are already in his presence? 
None. God, that's why there is no one like you. You are amazing from so many angles. We look forward to seeing you in the flesh in heaven, to be ruled by someone who is just that good.

My awesome wife

Check out this very cool collection of Christmas cards that she made out of bits of scrap. They're designed to celebrate the incarnation, God stepping into His own creation, which is an absolutely mind-blowing concept. The series shows Jesus (Ie, the infinite God) involved in a series of mundane situations, with the title 'God in skin' highlighting the absurdity and the verses providing amusing reference points.

Enjoy some of my favourites.
