December 19th

15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

If I had been in the field when the angels came, I would have been worried that something was wrong with Mary. So, I would have gone with the others to ask Mary but I wouldn't have gone by myself. When I left after seeing Jesus, I would have told everybody in Bethlehem to go see the baby.

Happy birthday, Jesus and Merry Christmas!
