God’s visit among the ordinary
God has been doing something new in each of us for quite some time — our whole lives, in fact. God is giving us a new beginning. God has made us his children. God is with us and will never abandon us. He rejoices over us. Have you not heard? Have you not seen? The angels, even tonight, are singing over us, rejoicing that the Savior has come.

Catching Glimpses of God’s Kingdom
God has always chosen people at particular times and in particular places to be like mid-wives for the Kingdom of God. God’s intention is that all people — all of creation — will be made new, made whole. And God’s intention is that this will happen, not as he waves his arm from a distance and fixes what is broken, but as he comes close to us. Christ was born as a human, and we share his good news of new life with one another.
