We had more people than I expected at services yesterday. It was an exceptional morning. I truly wish every Sunday was Christmas Sunday. Not for the giving and receiving of gifts but just the way people treated each other. I’m not meaning this to sound like a criticism of our church family. We have a very friendly church family. It’s just that the sentiment of good will and good cheer were kicked up a few notches. It’s the kind of people we need to be each day. It’s the kind of atmosphere we need to cultivate each and every time we gather together.
I spoke yesterday on the wisdom of the wise men and their wise gifts. I contrasted how the story would have been different had wise women been in charge. For example, I joked that if wise women had been the principle characters rather than give an infant Gold, Frankincense and Myrhh they would have given a hat, a blanket, and some diapers.
What are some differences, you can see, if it had been wise women instead of wise men?
