-C.S. Lewis
How few have tasted war or stared into the empty cup of poverty? Today's only battle is fighting through overcrowded stores, finding the perfect gifts to give our loved ones on Christmas day. Somewhere deep are the spirits of those I love and cherish. Still, seeing consumers digging through holiday wear and the newest electronics while racking credit card debt leaves me ashamed. For this, a child was born? The Christ of Christmas. If only we could journey back to Bethlehem and join the Shepherds as they hastened to have a glimpse of the promised Messiah. To experience first-hand the awe and "great joy" that Immanuel had come, as foretold in Isaiah. No tinsel nor glitz decorated the lowly stable where livestock was kept. A wooden trough lined with hay held the Prince of Peace. No, most of us have not tasted war or poverty, yet we are starving for peace! May we ask for humility this Christmas season and celebrate the forgotten miracle of Christ's birth.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us, a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6.
