Christmas

 Christmas 2024

There was no big band playing

No red carpet rolled out

No ticker tape parade 

No dignitaries or media to greet him. 

This the way we treat celebrities and world leaders. 

But it is not the way of God. 

God does not need all of that. 

God knows Who He is. 

And does not need our Adoration or Praise. 

Instead of the Eternal City of Rome,

God chose a chose the small back water town of Bethlehem. 

Instead of a palace, God chose a stable. 

Instead of royal robes God chose swaddling clothes. 

And instead of a crib covered in satin

God chose a manger covered in straw. 

God does things differently. 

And this is why we sometimes have trouble figuring God out. 

Because God thinks and acts differently than we do. 

This is why we have trouble finding God,

Because we search for Him on all the wrong places. 

If we want to find God,

Then look In the simplest and lowliest places. 

Because God is the simplest and lowliest of ALL!
