We are all somewhere in the Christmas story. Whether you identify more with the humble, hard-working shepherds, the educated Wise Men, or somewhere below, between or beyond them, may you find Jesus today just as they did, and bring to him your gifts of worship, honor and praise.
Whether you see yourself in Mary, amazed that God might visit you, or find your face in Joseph’s quiet obedience and faithful care, may you discover your place in the story of Jesus and welcome him into your own.
Having remembered his coming, may the New Year find you more ready to befriend the lost, love your neighbors, reconcile with your enemies, and serve the poor.
Merry Christmas from the Vickerys.
Merry Christmas!
