BECAUSE CHRIST WAS BORH

(These One A Days are added to each day)

One day in eastern Colorado, a man watched a little girl pull a small yellow wagon to the corner of a fence that paralleled the highway and the railroad. She climbed upon the wagon and anxiously scanned the horizon.

“What are you doing?” asked the man. “My little brother has infantile paralysis and he can’t stand without my help. And he loves trains…oh, how he loves trains.”

Just then, the hoarse, deep whistle of the streamliner, The City of Denver, could be heard in the distance. The little girl went into action.

Raising her little brother to a standing position against the solid fence in front of him she placed her head against the small of his back and held him there, his little head protruding just above the fence so he could see the approaching train. When the train had passed, she gently lowered him back down into the wagon.

“Honey,” the man exclaimed, “You didn’t get to see the train at all.” She looked at him with that look reserved for someone who just doesn’t understand, and said, “I saw it before he got sick.”

Because Christ was born little girls think of little brothers before themselves. And compassion is seen as a strength and not a weakness. And love is made more important than hate.

“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12
