Missing the manger - Part 1



Missing the manger:


This Christmas I have reallybeen doing some things to keep me from personally missing the manger for the busyness of Christmas. It's easy to do and even easier to have not realized it. I've been writing in my journal some observations (of self and others), and have noticed that most people respond the the manger during this time of year in two ways:
1. They speed past it - they're too busy and they "miss the manger" and miss the Christ of Christmas.
2. They intentionally stop to see Christ, and are pulled in by His majesty.
Today I pray that I will take time to seek Christ, see Christ, and serve Christ as I celebrate His birth.
All Praises to the newborn King!
