The Fox and the Fleas

There's a wonderful Scottish story about a fox infested with fleas. So the intelligent fox gathers wool left on hedgerows from the flocks of sheep nearby. The fox rolls the wool into a ball and puts it in his mouth. He then heads to the stream and ever so slowly enters the water. As the fox slowly gets his entire body in the stream, the fleas jump onto the ball of wool in the foxes mouth. Finally the fox is totally under the water and he lets the ball of wool go, geting rid of the fleas.
At Christmas, we can celebrate the coming of the lamb of God, who by His sinless life would take upon Himself our fleas of sin. What a priceless gift! May you allow your fleas of sin to be placed on His wool. May you experience the joy and peace of a right relationship with your Heavenly Father. Merry Christmas!!!
These are the days my friend,
