Everyone Loves a Baby: A Special Child

Everyone wants their child to be special, until it makes their child stand out too much. It’s pretty easy to get excited about the special baby Jesus too, as long as his specialness is all about stars, shepherds and angels. But when it means he stands for peace, no matter what, or uses his power for love, despite the cost, it makes us nervous.You are special too; special because you, like Jesus, have a calling to be about peace and love, no matter what. Are you willing to be that special?
