Today is Christmas Day. A day to enjoy family and friends. To laugh, to hug, to give oneself, to be joyful. We give gifts to each other and enjoy traditions passed down to us like thread knit into our souls. But it is not just a day to celebrate many blessings and to enjoy. It is also a day to look back and see what God has done.
And not just the obvious, as the day Jesus was born. But to see that we are in the middle of the greatest epic tale ever told. It is happening right now. And Christmas is a symbol that God took a painting that knew no bounds of time, and breathed life into it. This painting has received life from the breathe of the Creator. Today is a day to recognize that we are in the middle of God’s great revelation. We celebrate together and praise the Lord for the very romance of His gift and the splendor of the tale He is spinning. You and I are central to this story. The flames of His passion consume us in this tale. Today I reflect and see His great symbol of love and say “thank you.”
Merry Christmas!
