What blessing did you receive this Christmas? What was the center of your focus?
This year our Christmas was quiet and low key. We had a white Christmas here in Kansas, USA. The day after we even got an additional snowfall. It was so beautiful as it quietly came down and blanketed our world. Christmas evening we attended our Christmas Eve service, opening our gifts before leaving for the service. Christmas day was spent with our daughter while my husband slept (during the day) or worked (that night). Our "big" Chrismas day with our sons and families will be on New Year's Day.
When something is so familiar as the Christmas story, it is hard to see it from a fresh point of view. This year I heard a song on the radio that gave me that "fpv". I don't even know the name of it, but it talked about the Magi's expectations and what they actually found. They were looking for a King (ruler?), and a grown man. What did they find? A child, yet God, Himself! They came away with much more of a blessing they ever dreamed. Their encounter with God was way beyond what they ever dreamed or expected. It gives a new meaning to "Emmanuel = God,...with US!"
What has been your encounter with God this Christmas?
