Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries. (Psalm 17:7 NRSV Bible)
A group of first graders got together and decided to write their own version of the Nativity. It was more modern than the traditional drama. Oh, there were the familiar members of the cast: Joseph, the shepherds, the three wise men, the star and an angel propped up in the background. But Mary was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly from behind some bales of hay could be heard some soft moans and groans. Evidently Mary was in labor.

Soon a doctor arrived dressed in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck. Joseph, with a look of relief on his face takes the doctor straight to Mary, then starts pacing back and forth. After a few moments the "doctor" emerges with a big smile on his face. "Congratulations, Joseph," he says, "It's a God!"

Indeed, during this season we celebrate God coming to us in the form of Jesus Christ. Who was born in a manager in Bethlehem to be our savior.

Dear Jesus, thank you for coming to be my savior. May I not take you for granted, especially during this great and holy season. Amen.
