In all good haste they gathered in peace, shepherds and kings, each the same. Outside the stable they pondered, some with joy, some with doubt of what these new tidings would bring. Suddenly an angel appeared bid them all to be still so they heard what she would decree. She told them not to be so afraid…be brave and let their hearts sing, for the babe in the manger born on this day would bring joy to the world and he would be called for all time… king of kings.
Merry Christmas everyone. Jesus is the reason. Peace, love, joy.

DDT: I have to say, I felt the pace of my breathing slow as I read your account of that glorious event. In the quietness of tonight, after a long day (and an even longer three months of struggle) I am trying to make a return to visiting my fellow bloggers/wordlers. I’m so glad I’ve chosen tonight. And this wordle. Thank you for this one!
Here’s mine…same story, much earlier “scene”…

We must never forget the reason for the season. I love this. Merry Christmas!

Ah.. like Brian wrote, centering for certain. Thanks. And it is an aspect of Christmas that is often so overlooked, even if it is the main reason, the reason for the celebrations. Really appreciate the piece and thanks for posting it. Merry Christmas
