Happy Christmas Dear Reader,
What did you write down yesterday? Perspective can help us to be calm and allay our
fear. Sometimes I have to change my perspective
to maintain a right heart and mind.
In our song that is the theme of this Christmas blog, the line is “Somehow help me see with Heaven’s eyes.” In case you have not noticed, the grains in the glass are slipping through the pinch. Time is fleeting. When Mary makes her statements about being what the Father wishes, the time starts; the sand flows.
Along the way, she has to keep her perspective. She must find a way to see with Heaven’s
eyes. To begin the flow, the Father sends
an angel. When Joseph doubts her, the
Father sends an angel. When Jesus is
born, the Father sends angels. Joseph
and the Magi find in a dream that the Father uses an angel to warn them.
What I wish to do to claim a good purchase on Heaven’s
perspective is to view things from the perspective of those who have never violated
the Father’s love. These magnificent beings
work to protect us from ourselves. They
serve the Father by aiding us when we are the ones responsible for the death of
the Son. Still, as we approach the
grains of time that are Christmas, we see the angels helping to make the
way. I honestly feel sorrow for their
having to aid in repairing what we have destroyed.
I am also determined to honor their service by working to follow
the Son more closely. I want to have
Heaven’s perspective in all things. I
wish to see through eyes that are not selfish or unloving. I long to view others as Christ does and love
them as the Father loves the Son. I want
my spirit to go forth every day of the year like the Spirit does, drawing the world
toward the Son.
It is not about judgment, causes, and agenda. It is always about living out the love of the
Father by following the Son. It is about
regaining perspective when we fail. In
the story we live, the angels do come down to look into what we do with the
gift of the Son. I am writing down that
I wish to live every moment in respect of the inquiry. I wish to follow the Son out of love for the
Father but I would include a nod of respect to those angels that give all they
are to that same service.
As you choose what you will write down today, Dear Reader,
please keep in mind that we are surrounded by legions of those who see, obey,
and constantly work to get all the world back to good. When an angel comes down to see about your
benefit from the Son, I hope that you can find a perspective that honors his
work. I pray that I can in every
moment. By asking for Christ to be born
in me, I am on the right path.
An
Angel Came Down – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
An angel came down, one night to the Earth
A mission from God, to find out the worth
Of everything that His children had done
Since that winter night, the birth of His son
And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight,
It holding him there
And as he looked towards the Earth
For the source of the sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down
To bring something back, this angel was told
That no one could touch, but angels could hold
So on that night when the sky had cleared
Among all the stars, an angel appeared
And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight,
It was holding him there
And as he looked towards the Earth
For the source of the sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down
Wishing you joy in the journey,

a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a homeowner. He liberally
hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”

Every human story is part of the great story that leads
to the Father getting everything back to Good.
