Twas the week before Christmas and all through the church, excitement was building, for all it was worth! The donuts were hung from four strings with such care, waiting for some children to take on a dare.
The children were listening to all that was said and hoping each minute that they too would be fed. The game was soon over with glaze on their face as they chewed the last bite and returned to their place. The point of the game was to look toward the sky or risk missing what’s in front of our eyes. 
The story I shared told of wise men afar, that never questioned why they followed the star. It led them to Jesus, the one whom they sought, and gave them more answers than could ever be bought. The answers we seek come from Jesus alone and without looking up we might miss what he’s shown. Through His life and His death he has shown us His love and His plan for our lives fits like a glove. So this Christmas season as we sift through the clutter let’s remember Christ’s love that compares to no other.
“After this interview the wise men went their way. Once again the star appeared to them, guiding them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was.” Matthew 2:9
