It was a miraculous but simple night. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords was born in a stable and laid in a manger in the small town of Bethlehem. May remembering those details help us keep everything in perspective as we prepare for our Christmas celebrations.
As we begin the second week of Advent today and light the “Bethlehem Candle,” also known as the “Candle of Preparation,” let’s keep our plans simple. Let’s slow down, focus on Jesus and share His love with those around us.
“And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.” ~Luke 2:6-7
