Church weekend

I’ve had a great time at the church weekend. It has been refreshing to spend the time focusing on what Christmas is really all about. Even though the story of the Nativity is so familiar, somehow by focusing so much on it, new things have jumped out. There was a manger at one of the prayer stations, with a card saying that for one night, a stable became “God’s throne room”. The reality of God loving us so much that he came to be amongst us and save us hit me anew at that point. It’s such an amazing thought.
