 Kids aren’t the only ones
who get excited about Christmas gifts. Our computer consultant, Larry Hansford, knows that
I am a gadget guy, especially when it comes to computers. For Christmas, he gave me this
nifty Palm Pilot that he had gotten at a discount through his business.  Look at this thing! <Press
button - Ride of the Valgaries> It has a calendar, a note pad, an address and phone
book, a calculator, an expenses log, a to do list... It can even do e-mail! I am a happy man. I
can’t imagine how I made it though life without one of these babies. I can link it to
my computer at home or work and download all the information. It recognizes handwriting or
you can use this tiny little typewriter keyboard. It’s a great gift!Look, it’s better
than one of those Gega Pets - it tells me when I need fed and when I need to go to bed. It
has a game on it, too. Do you suppose I’m obsessing when I stay up all night trying
to win the game? As you can see from the screen, it can even do duck calls! Great gift! The Palm Pilot is a great
gift, but it’s not the ultimate Christmas gift. Let’s look at Luke Chapter 2. |

Luke 2:8-12 8: And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9: And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10: And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 11: For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12: And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." |
Luke 2: 8-12  There were sheepherders
camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly,
God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were
terrified. The angel said, "Don’t be afraid  I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is
meant for everybody worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior
who is Messiah and Master. This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a
blanket and lying in a manger...." |

Luke 2:15-18 15: When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." 16: And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17: And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 18: And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. |
Luke 2: 15-18  As the angel choir withdrew
into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. "Let’s get over to Bethlehem as
fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left,
running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was
believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who
heard the sheepherders were impressed. |
