Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5 NRSV Bible)
I remember a story of a little girl in Sunday School who was asked what she had learned from the story of Jesus changing water into wine at the wedding celebration at Cana. She answered: "It is always a good idea to have Jesus around." Children can give us some great wisdom in understanding life.

The reason we often track mud into our lives, and lean on crutches, and admire ourselves in mirrors, is that we won't allow the presence of God in Christ to be reflective in our everyday existence. Christmas is a celebration and a way of life-not a one day festival of getting what we want.

Loving God, help me to make the true meaning of Christmas a way of life all year long. Amen.
