Merry Merry Merriest of Christmases to each of you!
Be sure to join M on today’s episode of OOBT as she leans in to consider the real lives of the people involved in the Christmas story.
In all honesty, her prayer has been and continues to be that God will give us all a new sense of AWE + WONDER as we look closer at the gift of that baby boy in the manger through the eyes of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, and the Wise Men even… that we will find new ways to approach the story we may have already heard hundreds of times before of Emmanuel, God With Us, coming down to earth.
After all the waiting there is so much room for joy, awe, and a whole lot of wonder at Jesus’ arrival, right?
Christ Our Savior is Born! Let’s marvel at that truth together, shall we? Amazing. Just AMAZING.
