As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. “Let’s get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.” They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about the child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.
The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they’d been told!
Luke 2:20 {the Message}
This Christmas, may the furthest corners of your heart receive the Gift of God with you. When you long forget what you received under the tree, may you remember Jesus who was born to die on the tree for you. And like the shepherds of long ago, may you let loose and praise God who is not only Light and Love with you, but in you. Hope lives for you and me!
Merry Christmas dear friends! See you after the New Year.
