scripture: psalms 55:22

We all have a wagon of things that we drag along with us. Burdens, heartaches, responsibilities, and hurts. Navigating the path of life is daunting and pulling our wagon of things along makes it even more difficult. Too often, our wagons carry much more than they were intended to. We live in an overwhelmed world. Everyone is trying to keep up. We come to God under heavy burdens just dealing with daily life. How often does God look at our wagon and see things there that he never intended for us to carry? If we are burdened with more than we can carry, we need to do some self-inventory and get rid of the things we do not need to carry. We must unload most of that stuff and let God have it. God can deal with our burdens, but we must let Him have them. We bring the wagon, but we leave with it full. We have to bring it all to Him and let him work.

The shepherds were invited to visit the Christ Child! They returned to their field, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen. This is the most glorious advent as the total event unfolds! I'm wondering what Mary and Joseph thought as the shepherds came bustling into the stable?
