"These are the days of miracles and wonders". So sang Paul Simon several years ago.
It is truly amazing for us to step back and realize the technological advances that we take for granted in our day to day world.
Our lives are transformed and made richer because of new medical procedures, the gadgetry that makes our cars safer and more comfortable and the ever more powerful computers that are more and more a part of our lives--including the iPhone on which I am writing this!
It is easy for us to take these miracles for granted. But it is also easy for us to take another equally miraculous event for granted as well.
Twenty centuries ago, "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14)
Christmas is when we recall the incredible fact that God himself, the Creator of the Universe, became one of us when he was born in that stable in Bethlehem.
Like the tech gadgets that (most of the time) enhance our lives, this miracle is meant to make a difference as well. John goes on to say "to all who receive him, who believe in his name, he gives power to become children of God, who are born not of the will of the flesh or the will of man, but of God."
I invite you to step back this season and remember once again the wonder that we are celebrating. May this miracle we celebrate this Christmas transform and enrich your life--this promise is truly the 'reason for this season'.
