Children worldwide, believing in the magic of Christmas, create an unseen current of love and hope. Be on guard because this is a contagious current, ready to jump into the nearest open heart. It is uncanny or even heavenly their ability to generate the current. I believe heavenly. So if you are searching for a Christmas miracle, breathe in a child’s happiness.
I decided long ago that children are close to God because they recently left heaven. Look into the goodness of their eyes, and you are staring directly into heaven! Unfortunately, most of us lose the view of heaven in our eyes as we become older. The world begins erasing it as soon as it can. But I have met a few people who still possess the sparkle from the stars in their eyes and fluff from the clouds hidden within their souls as they came down. They know about God’s enormous love for all His children and the miracles He still performs today. And they say, Believe!
Believe in the babe in the manger.
Believe in the man on the cross.
Believe in God’s love for you.
Do you need a Christmas miracle? I know life has been extraordinarily tough these past years, and this year has been unyielding with hit after hit to finances, family life, and mental health. No one seems to be left untouched. Do you whisper under your breath during the day, “Jesus help me?”
I am right there with you. Our own financial concerns, health concerns, a sick child, and insurance concerns. It builds and builds into an enormous mountain seemingly unsurmountable. And then I remind myself that I am not a quadriplegic, nor is our child. We can walk and breathe on our own without mechanical assistance. We live in a house, and there is food on the table. We have each other, and we have God! I can go on naming our blessings, but you get the idea.
So sometimes your miracle is being grateful for what you already have in your life! And sometimes, your miracle arrives at Christmas!
God Bless You!
