Emmanuel, I have always loved this name.  It's rich meaning brings peace to my heart.  HE IS WITH US.  What a glorious day when the Word became flesh and dwelt among us!  Oh what a Savior!  May this advent season be rich with desire to walk with Him, talk with Him and know that His presence with us means everything!

Luke 2:10-14 ~ NIV

10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
