We all have within us the capacity for great love.  It is when we are living in that capacity that allows us to feel fully alive.  When we embrace God, that which we know and that which we don’t, we get a glimpse of the spark that ignites all of life. In the Christian tradition this night is one of the holiest of nights. It is told that angels were singing with excitement at the birth of a newborn in a nearby stable.  He was foretold in the scripture as the King of Kings.  The strange part is that most kings are born in castles and grand palaces, not in barn yard stables with the animals still in it.  Nothing about the beginnings of this child speak of the grandeur of which his titles were placed.  So maybe that is how God works.  When we are busy looking in palaces and temples, God is hanging out back in the stable while the angels are singing in the fields.  God is beyond expectation.  God awakens in the deep recesses of our hearts in a way that can be missed unless we are looking in the right place.  This doesn’t happen just once a year, it happens every day, multiples times during the day, every time we take a breath.  My challenge is to remember to find God in the most unassuming places of my heart and mind and thus my outer experience which I filter through my heart and mind.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to searching for God in the spaces and places that we would least expect God to be and who knows, maybe we will hear the angels singing.  Make it a great one!
