Nothing Can Stop Christmas' Bleessing

Something strikes me about Christmas
No one is left behind, no one
Nothing can stop the joy it brings
It has pleased the Lord to come
Nothing will hold Him back

From the intellectuals, wise men, to laymen shepherds
From the astrologers who traveled thousands of miles to hosting shephards
From the rich who could afford to bring a gift to men who could only afford their time
Distance can't stop the blessings of the season
Neither can societal status

From old and forsaken Elizabeth, to young and desirable Mary
People whom the world had forgotten and people who had just begun to live
From the expectant Simeon and Ann to the 'caught unawares' generation
Age can't stop the blessings of this season
People's perception cannot change a thing either

From ministry inclined Zechariah, to business oriented Joseph
From the priest who doubted to the Dreamer who hearkened
Not even doubt could stop the blessings of the season
Men and women from all walks of life
From those who walked in darkness to those who came to bear witness of the light

From the wailing mother's in Ramah to the joyous and chorousing angels
From Mother's who just lost their children to Angels who saw their God in flesh
Not one person is left behind
Circumstances cannot stop the blessings of the season

Most importantly, the entire Christmas story isn't just a day. It is a story of years compressed into one single day
Be rest assured that there's enough to go round not just today but from today henceforth
Time can't stop the blessings of the season
Joy to the world

Merry Christmas
