That night, in a field near Bethlehem, there were shepherds watching over their flocks. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in radiant splendor before them, lighting up the field with the blazing glory of God, and the shepherds were terrified! But the angel reassured them, saying, “Don’t be afraid. For I have come to bring you good news, the most joyous news the world has ever heard! And it is for everyone everywhere! For today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah. You will recognize him by this miracle sign: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough!”
Luke 2:8-12 TPT
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

What an amazing sight that must have been.
Thank you, Reverend.
I can imagine their brains were on full overload, trying to process "angels", "Messiah", "Savior", and "lying in a feeding trough". :)
Definitely!
Padre, I have been thinking back on all the good times in the past spent with family. Even tonight we talked about all the cooking being done for the celebration of Christ birth. I am also reminded of the flight of Apollo 8 when they came around the earth and read Gen. 1.1
Good words, needed especially now!
Rob, that's the sort of thing we ALL should be doing: thinking back on all the good times. Thanks.
NFO, I agree!
