Truly, God works in mysterious ways. The wheels of His mercy and justice move quietly, but they do move. The birth of Jesus Christ — the Son of God, our Savior — went unnoticed by the vast majority of the world that first Christmas night, but no event in human history was more significant. May His birth — and all it means — not go unnoticed in our lives! -Billy Graham
Unfortunately, in the midst of a busy season, we get distracted by shopping and dinners and parties and we forget why we are so busy. Sometimes we build great traditions only to make them become burdens with the craziness of the days before Christmas. In the sprint and fun of the season, baking cookies, wrapping presents and dressing up for parties, let us not forget the real reason for the celebration of giving and the activity that is occurring in our lives today.
God came as an innocent child to save us and he came quietly. He came to save us from death and give us eternity, yet we are too busy to notice. When a baby is born we get excited. We want to hold him, touch her or just simply stare at the wonder of the life that has been given to us. Let us get excited for the miraculous birth that is Jesus. Let us love one another in the way He loved us, enough to come miraculously and give sacrificially. It truly is a miracle to celebrate!
