31 Days of Christmas – Day #12

Just One Star

Back in the throne room of Heaven, plans were being made to announce the birth of God’s Son on Earth. Michael, the archangel, had just finished describing his great heavenly display of comets and falling stars.
Gabriel went on with his musical plans — A great angelic choir of tens of thousands of voices, tuned with heaven’s finest and latest harmonies, ready to serenade the earth.
But God interrupted their conversation. “No,” he said, “that’s not really what I had in mind. I planned a small family gathering in Bethlehem, actually. We don’t need all those trimmings.”
“But all my stars,” said Michael. “What will I do with them?”
“And my music?” Gabriel added.
Just then, Jesus stepped through the pearly gates, out onto the red carpet of time and started down the spiral stairway of stars.
Michael pled, “Father, please let us do something! He just can’t go un-announced!”
“Well, all right,” God said. “Gabriel, a few angels, and Michael, just 1 star, please.”

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”(John 1:14)
