I was standing
in line recently at Panera Bread during lunch time. It was crowded, noisy, the lines were long,
and people were bumping into each other.
It was a little microcosm of our world.
As I stood there fretting about how long things were taking, I happened
to look over to see a mom and her infant child standing just behind me. There in the midst of the crowds, noise and
chaos was this picture of something almost unimaginable - a sleeping, quiet,
content little baby, unfazed by the velocity of life and the anxieties that
accompany it.
What a picture of
Christmas for all of us who feel the weight of anxiety, frustration, and even
depression. Christ came into this
anxious world to bring calm and comfort to a sin-laden people preoccupied with
everything but God. Joy to the world!
