The pulse of our life seem to change as the day draws near. We prepare with material goods, food, organizing gifts, running to the stores, and hoping we did not forget anything or anyone. There seems to be an underlying pressure we put on ourselves which is very anti-Christmas. "How did the season get to this?" Well, it's time to refocus on the message. That message, to this writer, is a simple one--that the normal interaction between folks is love (anything else is against life). And that there is a great source of power and inspiration available to all of us--rich and poor, old and young, that highlights the glory in the most common aspects of our lives.
For millions, his birth marks the turning point in human history. It marks a moment where new meaning is given to the commonplace. The King of kings was born in a stable surrounded by livestock because there was "no room at the inn." The Light of the world came to ignite that same light in each one of us. How lovely our lives become when we allow the light to guide our path. Stresses are no longer stressful, anger dissipates, judgement falls, and happiness becomes clearer. Born in a backwater hilltown, our savior continues to light the way!
