The wise men come looking for Jesus. They search the skies. They travel the land. They consult with kings. They ready their gifts. All in the hopes of discovering a small child who might just change the order of things.
Where is the Child in your life today? Where do you discover Jesus, alive and changing the order of things, within you? Take a few moments now to pause, search, and give thanks when you find him within.
How might you ready your gifts so they might be offered well to the Holy Child? What talents or abilities need to be honed, expanded, trained or flexed? How might your sense of gratitude for these gifts be deepened or heightened, so you might offer your gifts to Jesus with the awe and wonder of the sages?
