Christmas - Dec 24
I wonder what I would have
heard had I been there that night. It is a question that annually haunts me.
Would I have heard the choirs of angels singing or simply the sounds of barnyard
animals shifting around? Would I have seen the star in the sky that night or
simply two poor and very frightened kids? Would I have understood the hushed
silence of the divine presence, or simply the chill of a cold east wind. Would I
have understood the message of Emmanuel, God with us, or would the cosmic
implications of that evening have passed me by?
