Before the shepherds come running, before anyone shows up with gifts, there’s just Mary, exhausted from childbirth, and Joseph, overwhelmed by the task in front of him, and the Baby, the Baby that changes everything. When we are exhausted and overwhelmed, God sustains us and reminds us of the true meaning of the season. Forgive people that love you, be kind to others, and keep the true meaning of Christmas in your hearts. Always.
