I believe in Christmas miracles.
Truth is they happen at the most opportune times. Money, friends, blessings and so much more just happen. The other day as I unloaded the remnants of a ministry Christmas party there sat Santa’s throne, a big stuff chair. As I pondered how to move it a gentleman walked up dropping off a donation. Help had arrived in the nick of time. Sometimes God‘s blessings come too late in our minds but history will show it was always at the right time. You can read in the Bible about Abraham‘s sacrifice and the ram who showed up. Just think in your mind what it took to get that ram at that point in time, at that location just at the right moment.
I love watching Christmas Hallmark movies at this time of year with my wife. There’s always love, there’s always some tears and there’s always some drama but in the end it usually all miraculously works out. Sometimes my wife and I can figure it out rather quickly, others there are twist and turns that are revealed and the red herrings are identified but not always. And so it is in life, we need a miracle that comes unexpectedly, or we might think it might be one thing but it is something else. In the end the miracle is always always just what we need just when it is needed.
During this time let’s not forget the greatest Christmas blessing and miracle of all time. If you think of each aspect of the way it was delivered, the time it was delivered and everything in the whole universe that came together to accomplish this miracle you will be amazed. So this holiday season be sure and be thankful for all your blessings, give love to all you meet, give generously to those need, laugh and live. Realize we live in a great time and a great place.
