An EXTRA-Ordinary Night...

Today your savior was
born in the town of David.
He is Christ the Lord.....Luke 2:11

An ordinary night with ordinary sheep and ordinary shepherds.
And were it not for a God who loves to hook an "extra" on the
front of the ordinary, the night would have gone unnoticed.
The sheep would have been forgotten, and the shepherds would
have slept the night away.
But God dances amidst the common. and that night He did a waltz.
The black sky exploded with brightness. Trees that had been
shadows jumped into clarity. Sheep that had been silent became a
chorus of curiosity. One minute the shepherd was dead asleep, the
next he was rubbing his eyes and staring into the face off an alien.
The night was ordinary no more.
The angel came in the night because that is when it's best seen and that
is when they are most needed. God comes into the common for the same reason.
His most powerful tools are simplest
