G = GO!
I’m all in for many, many more silent nights during the Advent and Christmas season. Yet, there is too much to do, lists upon lists, preparation at home and work and church…it’s a hectic time. Those views being true, then why of all the better Christmas-y “G” words did I select Go????
Because the story hinges on the shepherds, rough, smelly, poor, taken-for-granted if noticed at all, loyal to their flock folk. These are my kind of people. Of course, it is to these folks the angels appear and sing the message of the birth of Jesus. Once the last note concludes the next word spoken from angelic voices is “Go.”
True, it’s not every day one is serenaded by an angelic chorus and after that experience pretty much whatever was asked next had a decent chance of being followed…. yet, with sheep in tow and the cold of the night air making their breath visible, the shepherds went and found and witnessed.
