6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.  8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."  13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!  Luke 2:6-14

The scriptures say it better than I ever could.  All of heaven rejoiced at the birth of Jesus Christ, and today we remember that this amazing condescension; a gift from God came to dwell among us.  I have no idea what it must have looked like in the field, with those shepherds...and those angels singing, but it must've been incredible.

God with us.  What an amazing thought!  

May God bless you with an amazing day today, as you reflect and remember that we were so valuable to heaven that Jesus was sent to save us!
