The days go by and life seems very unenchanted. Car exhaust, crabby people, the same four songs on the radio, bad weather, hard times... the large things and the small often add up, in my case, and take away any sense of magic or mystery.
And then Christmas time comes along, once again, and I pause to remember the wonder of the incarnation. I think of the time when (to quote a famous someone) the whole universe fit inside a manger. And I'm reminded that the world is still God's and because of this all things-- the good, the bad, the frightening, the peaceful-- are enchanted. The world is still alive with God's strange grace and mysterious love.
I hope you all find time to meditate on the wonders of the life of Christ this season. Merry Christmas!
