LOOK!
Today's reading: Jude

"Look, the Lord is coming..." Jude verse 14 NLT

I'm going to guess it was a couple thousand years ago today that the first twinges of labor began.

The tightening. The cramping. The contractions, first barely noticeable.

Were they still outside Bethlehem, looking for a place to rest? Was she still astride the donkey? Were they being pressed on every side by the crowds?

Either way, today in history, there is a very good likelihood that Mary knew the Lord was coming.

And today, we know He is coming back!
