As much as the wise men, angels and shepherds fill our Christmas traditions and accounts of the birth of Jesus, in reality it was surrounded by the ordinary. Ponder Luke 2: 1-20 around the theme of the ordinary and everyday and the action of God within our world through the same. Christmas is as much for the present future as for the past and may we see what God is doing, Christ revealing, in the corners, the villages, the suburbs, the ordinary places of our lives and world today.
