It is not actually snowing where I am, and if we see some snow this year, (which is in no way guaranteed) we probably won’t see it for another month. However, isn’t amazing that when someone says it is snowing you just have to go and look! If you wanted to all the kids in an elementary classroom to drop their work, jump out of their desks and run to a window, all you would need to do is go to the window and excitedly exclaim; “It’s snowing!” Mission accomplished most would rush to the window.

Now I will make a disclaimer if they happen to live in an igloo they may not . It might be like exclaiming its raining to us. Not exactly earth shattering news, especially of late. But for us at least, when it begins to snow it is still and exciting moment!

When the angels came and proclaimed that the Messiah had been born, even though it was not snowing, the shepherds didn’t just sit there. They got up and went to go see. When you believe, you can’t just sit there. You have to act. When you reflect on Jesus being born, does it cause you to act like the shepherds did? Or is it like announcing it is raining?

Come be encouraged to believe and act, celebrate like the shepherds did!

See you at church,

Pastor Chris
