For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ~Isaiah 9:6~ ....one of the most beautiful passages of scripture and my favorite to reflect on during the Christmas season.
