Not about shopping

This movie is so moving as we get a chance to look at what life for an average Jewish family was at the time culturally and practically. Of course their lives did not work out to be just ordinary. I am in awe as I stop from the bustle of Christmas shopping to look at this clip and ponder the reality of what God did for us. It is not about mary or Joseph anymore than it is about us...it is about God and how He brought about His redemptive plan.It is so moving to see that God first appeared to lowly shepherds just like He speaks to us today...His chosen people don't all look like the wise men or Kings from the east just ordinary lowly people that He has chosen to live in and open our eyes to His goodness. Lets not let the shopping distract us from the important part of this season and that is to come as a lowly shepherd and worship as the wise man said "the greatest of kings"...King Jesus.
