A Christmas carol: Silent Night, Holy Night.
Just think how the angel’s words must have turned Mary’s world upside down. She didn’t hesitate or make excuses. She burst forth in song and glorified the Lord.
At the center of the manger scene stands Joseph. Even so, he is easily overlooked.
I do not expect an angel to speak to me today, but his message to Joseph is still one I can cling to.
Christmas carol: “I Think of That Star of Long Ago.”
King Herod is the very last person you would expect to find in a Nativity scene. After all, he did not want to worship the baby Jesus.
I recall a little poem about stars: “The stars in the sky above are so beautiful to see / That’s ’cause they’re the electric lights on God’s Christmas tree.”
Just like the wise men, we can all follow the star in the east that leads us to our Savior.
The donkey reminds me of God’s desire that I serve him with humility. I am reminded that although the donkey is not glamorous, he has important work to do.
