And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. Luke 2: 8-14

Where Are You Christmas?
Where are you Christmas, where did you go?
All I see are stressed out people rushing to and fro.
I hear people exclaiming, “I can’t wait until Christmas is done!”
What happened to the celebration of God’s only begotten Son?
How did a baby in the manger get pushed aside for this?
Why can’t they see Jesus, the precious treasure that they’ve missed?
News stations proclaim the good news of high consumer sales,
while the baby in the manger by comparison seems to pale.
There’s parties, decorating, and shopping to be done,
There’s just no time for Jesus amidst all the Christmas fun.
