We had another BB game and this time we had more parents there then players from both teams. St. Paul's have a great fan base and though the girls team and the boys team had a combined score of 4 you would have never known from the parents cheering.
This is what I think about when I think of the Angels in the Christmas story...Fans of Baby Jesus coming to cheer even though it is a field and some shepherds. Like the parents, just excited to be cheering their team on no matter the score.
From the glory of heaven, the myriads of glorious song to a field and shepherds who can't even listen they are so scared...a strange place for an angel choir. But think about it...what was normal about any part of the story. The only normal event of the story was the baby being born. Nothing more normal then a baby being born when it is time...oblivious to the hoopla around just wanting his mothers milk and caring arms to nestle.
The gears of time and eternity pivot on that little baby, no wonder the angels came to sing.
