There he was, all crinkled, prune like...hair matted against his cone shaped head lying in the manger. Protected for a time in the arms of his mother. A bundle of wrapped potential stretching against the confines of skin...the Almighty in flesh.
There they were, tired from a day of sheep keeping. Bright light...strange words of hope...don't be afraid, He is Here...the Almighty God, the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father...All Hail...to this bundle of baby in the manger...GO and SEE...Peace and goodwill....Go and SEE!!!
There she was, tired sore, sweaty and dirty...pushing Him into humanity. A new mother, a new father...a new baby balling his little fists feeling hunger, limited for the first time in eternity, in a body.
Angels finding shepherds finding the baby...finding us.
Thank you all for following me through this journey of Christmas...it was so good for me to dive into the familiar. Merry Christmas and I will see you next year.
