Christmas Reflection
- On a holy, extraordinary night, God gave us the incredible gift of his son, in the purest, simplest form of a tiny infant. A gift that would profoundly change every life forever. In the aura of a brilliant light, he was born in the most unlikely circumstances, to the most unlikely people, so to become one of us, Emmanuel, God with us.
- Angels personally bring good news to poor shepherds that a tiny child is born. As the very stars sing, they are filled with wonder and awe. Their greatest gift this night is themselves as they kneel and give their praise and adoration.
- Guided by the star, the wise men come and bring their gifts. So unlike the shepherds in so many ways, but all one. They too come to find God and to kneel before Him.
- There is Joseph, a quiet presence, wise, protective. His heart full of love for this little baby boy. He will care for Him and teach Him what he knows.
- His mother, Mary, blessed and filled with joy. She welcomes the visitors. She knows he is special as she looks at him knowing everything will be different because he has come.
- This Christmas, my wish for you is that your heart will be the manger that holds the eternal one. May you experience the wonder and anticipation of the shepherds. May you possess the generosity of the Wise Men, sharing all you have with others. May Joseph and Mary be with you on your travels through life and may the Christ Child forever bless you with peace.
- Love, Donna
