Christmas is a season of seeking.

We seek light in our long dark nightspeace in our noisy, chaotic livesharmony in our relationshipsfulfillment in our hearts. But as does the world around us,we are seeking these desires in a natural way:by stringing colorful bulbs on our propertyby attending festivities for funby expecting relationships to be at new levelsby shopping for just the right giftand being disappointed when satisfaction in gifting just doesn’t come. Change how you seek.  Change what you seek for.  This Christmas take a spiritual path.Simple shepherds, encouraged by the angels, sought the Babe in a Bethlehem stable.Learned Magi, led by a glorious star, sought Immanuel— God with us — in a house.When these men bowed before Jesus, they worshipped the Savior of the World.And their seeking stopped.They found light and peace, good will and divine fulfillment at the manger.
