Jesus the Family Man

Last night i went to Catholic Mass with my mother because there was a service to celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Jesus. The service was very nice and all that jazz, but as i sat there i began to really think about how amazing Jesus' birth was... I mean ive heard so many times about the many miracles that surrounded his birth and ministry, What with blind eyes being opened and food being created out of nowhere and the dead being raisesd. As i thought about i realized how "not a big deal" it was to me... I mean i just took fro granted the fact that these impossibloe things happened and shrugged them off as nothing, because everything is always so big and spectacular when it comes to God. This made me wonder what i really thought was amazing and what kind of encounter with God would mean the most.... Would it mean the most if he used me to perform a miracle as a sign to an unbelieving world, or used me to bring healing to a lost soul who really needed it, and if not these then what would mean the most? As i sat there thinking this i heard the Priest giving his sermon about Jesus and his birth and Mary and Joseph and he painted this amazing picture of a family. This simple thought of Jesus childhood being normal, or family oriented had never occurred to me, and the Awe that should have been on me wehn i heard about his miracles actually set in when i thought about him being normal... I mean he was a human after all, but i guess since he is God i never really thought about that, and at that very moment i realized what kind of encounter with a real physiacl Jesus would mean the most to me.... A hug... Just a simple moment of security in his arms, comforting me and showing how he loves me and allowing me to Express my love and real emotion for him...



So World, i know this isnt a very good blog today...; but i challenge you to look at God as normal, and see what kind of Awe it inspires.... look forward to the day when u can just chill with him in Heaven and Hug him :-)
