Awesomeness!

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
-- Luke 2:13-14

The dawn comes on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to you on this day before the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus.

A dark night in the fields of Judea near Bethlehem, an angel had appeared suddenly before the shepherds with glad tidings of great joy, the Son of God was born! The glory of the Lord had shone around them and fear had overwhelmed their senses. Then, a multitude of the heavenly host appears! The awesomeness from God ending the drought of the word the shepherds had lived through for generations. 

Truly we live in a similar time, having endured in our families the centuries since our Lord Jesus ascended to Heaven and waiting for His return. Just as suddenly this period will end for us. The shepherds had zero warning that their night would be any different from the multitude of nights before that one. Yet it was. Live for the day.

Merry Christmas Eve to you!
