Today marks the fourth Sunday of Advent, and it’s only a few days until Christmas. Christmas felt like a magical time of year when I was a child, but it’s sometimes difficult to find that same magic as an adult. Maybe it’s the pressure of work, bills, and housekeeping. Maybe it’s because it’s 80 degrees outside instead of a winter chill. Maybe it’s because our society reserves wonder for children.
The scriptures teach us to become as a child. I’m going to try to recapture some of that childlike wonder as I celebrate the birth of the Child who saved us all. He was born in a manger, in the little town of Bethlehem.
Merry Christmas!
