Here we are...The time is here. The door has opened. We are through to the other side.
Angels came and spoke to men. A child was born. A gift, the Son of Man, came to heal the world and carry its sin. He came with only a handful to know. A young girl and a young man, shepherds and wise men. The world was in darkness and sin.
Fresh light pours over us, nearly blinding us. Our hearts swell. One of the gifts God has given us is the ability to be awed and filled with wonder. It comes naturally to a child, even those who are very young. It has been one of the joys of raising children and grandchildren to see awe move across their little faces. It might be the sound of music or a site in nature, even a lit Christmas tree, that inspires it. It is more than joy which is always present with awe.
They are so aware and open to be awed that it seems to me, if we are wise, we should cultivate it ourselves. Surely it is a sin to become dull and jaded to awe and wonder. Maybe the best gift we can give in return is to become childlike and full of wonder once again.
In the days to come, seek daily to be awed, to be filled with wonder.

"May we never lose our wonder..."
So it is my friend. Wonderful post.
And if I might add, remember to look for miracles.
You bring to mind one of my favorite sayings:
'Miracle shall follow miracle and wonders will never cease.'
Much love,
Tracey
