The holidays bring out the creative side in all of us with hopes of magical moments. The extraordinary found in the ordinary.
But is that truly revealed in your endeavors? The perfect Christmas tree. The beautiful centerpiece. The twinkle of hundreds of lights that blink wonder. The planned Christmas gift to delight beyond expectations.

Every year, I wish Christmas would hang around all year! And it’s not about the decorations or lights, presents or even the celebrations.
It’s a little bit of hope I see in people’s eyes that sparkle brighter than the regular day to day grind eyes.
The eyes that are overwhelmed with financial commitments, career pressures, and family responsibilities.
As I went outside late last night, the stars seemed to shine brighter. The sky was as clear as the night before. So what was different?
It was simply the extraordinary found in the ordinary.
How are you looking at your sky? Do you see only what’s in front of you? Or do you search with vigor for the surprise of the unknown?
One cold night thousands of years ago, there were shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night. (Luke 2:8)
It was an ordinary night. Shepherds protecting their sheep.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. (Luke 2:9)
Just an ordinary night with a few sheep under the stars.
Yet is was that night Jesus was born!
The extraordinary found in the ordinary.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Open your eyes and your heart!
How are you living your days? Are you waiting for the magic to be created?
Or are you looking for the extraordinary found in your ordinary?
If ordinary is good enough for the Son of God to be born here on earth then you too can have extraordinary in your ordinary day.
You don’t need to create extraordinary for God to show up in your life. But you do need to be looking. But remember, you can’t find what you’re not looking for.
REFLECTION:
- Ask God to give you eyes to see the extraordinary found in the ordinary.
- Open your heart to the unexpected.
- May your beauty shine bright in the ordinary.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11)
