A couple of the gospels spend some time speaking of the circumstances around the birth of our Lord... which was announced to shepherds in fields by angels, who told the shepherds that this news was good tidings of great joy for all people. The world may not understand how precious, wonderful, and glorious His incarnation was, or that Jesus temporarily gave up His place in the Godhead to save us from our sins by willingly dying for us due to His great and everlasting love for us, but not knowing the exact day of this momentous event should not stop us from celebrating with family and friends as they share their gifts of life and love, which come from God.
