"Suddenly, a huge army showed up in the sky praising God!" Luke 2:13.
Can you imagine? Camping out under the stars, quietly minding your own business, and out of nowhere a thunderous roar rolls in shaking earth and sky, the words: Glory to God! over and over! Wow! Masses in battle array show up in the sky, touching earth, praising God, proclaiming peace among mortals. (Well, you had an inkling something was going to happen because a single angel had already broken your reverie moments earlier.) And then, suddenly as it all started, the quiet returns. Stunned, the shepherds say: We might ought to check this thing out in Bethlehem. And so they do. And they tell their story. Sky kingdom starting to break out into this old world.
With a brother or sister, today, we remove our shoes and bow in wonder at this thing that has happened. God's rolled up his sleeves, fixing our mess. So, together, we give thanks, glorify, and praise him.
