Soon we will celebrate the arrival of Love incarnate (God in human form). The bridge over the impossible chasm between the Divine and us pretenders could only be made by God himself. The date of His arrival is unimportant. It is He who is paramount for with that arrival came the eternal blessing that locks us in the arms of grace forever. His arrival was a miracle; a gift of love that will not let go of us. Some years ago there was the arrival of another male child. This one was no Savior, but every bit a miracle. I am pleased to call him my son and am grateful for his miraculous arrival that early evening in December. Today we celebrate his arrival with gratitude that has no limit. The celebration of the One who was delivered for us all more than two thousand years ago shows us how to love as we are loved. May we lift our hearts in praise for the ultimate example of love and the daily opportunity to put that love into practice with our family, friends, and even our enemies.
