The pace of Christmas can get so loud that we miss the whole point. Pastor Daniel reminds us that the first Christmas was crowded too, yet Mary shows us a better way. She slowed down long enough to notice what God was doing, treasured it, and actually reflected on it. Wonder grows when we make space for it. This season, take a moment each day, even a whole day each week, to breathe and be present. Real change starts when we stop gripping for control and choose surrender, trusting God with our story. That’s where wonder begins.
