You know, when I was about 11 years old I finally got my first electric train. It had taken four years of Mom and Dad saving for it because it was depression time and little boys didn’t always get what they wanted when they wanted it. Oh, it was a great little train. It ran around in circles going toot-toot-toot like little trains are supposed to do. And then another Christmas I got a football suit. And then very early on… I got a Christ. I have no idea where my train set is or my football suit, but I know where my Christ is.
And Christ gently, quietly, lovingly stands by our Christmas tree and says, “Come, take my gift again…and again…and again, for I offer you My love not only on Christmas Day. I offer it your whole life long.”
Sometimes I think I hear Him saying to me, “There were three Wisemen and, Neil, I want you to be the 4th. I want you to wisely follow My star. I want you to use My wisdom to sweep away your times of darkness. I want you to use the power of the Holy Spirit when you are lonely, or angry or afraid. Be a wise man, Neil. Be a keeper of My gift of love.
And yes, I believe He is saying the same thing to you. “Be a wise man or wise woman. Charlotte, Charles, Grace, Simone, Louis - whatever is your name - join Neil on an eternal journey to the manger, to the cross and finally to the Throne of Grace itself.”
We are so much alike despite our affinity for finding our differences. We are so much alike and so much in need of the Christmas spirit and all it stands for.
