Strange...
Christmas is a strange celebration. We remember the birth of baby Jesus, born in a remote place, with a manger for a bed. Pretty strange entrance for the King of Kings wouldn't you say? An odd arrival of the One prophets predicted would rescue the people....The Savior, the Messiah...not arriving in a grand cavalcade, but born to a teen mom and a foster dad outside the comfort and warmth of a home or inn.

There is a Christmas song, Strange Way to Save the World, that sums it up nicely:
Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the World
Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the World
I
guess that's just the way God works. Think about the many
unpredictable ways in your life that God has used the unexpected to
solve a problem, provide a need, create a miracle!
And so, this Trey Tuesday, let's entrust Trey to the Unpredictable Author of Life, the Designer of Unexpected Events....God. Yes, it is strange and it definitely wasn't in "the plans" that Trey would have cancer, yet we know God's plan is perfect in Trey's life and in each of our lives.

Please keep praying for Trey's health, a local case study for him, and for continued joy surrounding that household! :)
