Can a humble place where animals shelter and feed be glorious? Hmmmm. The writer of today's Advent meditation said that very thing.The Lord did not need a castle as a place to be born.Where He was born didn't matter because anywhere Love appears becomes glorious. I really like that idea. And then it came to me. A scene in a park.
It was a Facebook video of a curly haired little boy, perhaps three years old, wandering around Piedmont Park. His parents had told him it was time to go and to say good-bye and off he went on a mission. Sitting down, walking towards him, people with their backs to him, nothing mattered as he hugged each person and then moved to the next.The smiles, the unconstrained joy! It was if this child had golden pixie dust and he just sprinkled it on everyone in the park.What he did that day, brought tears. A glorious thing.
"Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them.....There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea." Isaiah 12:6-9.
