Well, happy Christmas Eve 2016!
A time when we should be remembering a 13 to 15 year old girl, in labor with no help, more than likely in a stone fenced paddock surrounded by sheep and filth, a husband old enough to be her father --- yeah, not every girls dream.
Yet, she chose to carry a child unlike any ever born.
And do we remember Miriam (Mary to this culture) for the example of faith she was? Nah, our daughters want to dress like Lady Gaga and live like Madonna and want to be thought of as a Mary ...... sigh ...
So, in our failed culture, we get songs like this at this time of year ...... count how many times God, Joseph, Mary, Jesus, Angels, Shepherds are mentioned.
But what would this time of year be if I failed to acknowledge my loss?
Or God's strengthening of me, often moment by moment, to just hold a line?
And all things unsaid ...
