WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM

As we approach Christmas Day, I am reminded of how the Wise Men were guided to the birth place of the Christ Child via a star.

One of my “favorites” to backpacking out in the wilderness is camping under a star filled sky! I love it! My mind will often travel to other destinations and eras while gazing into the night sky, just as I can remember creating images out of cloud formations during the day while laying on my back and gazing into the sky as a boy.

It’s okay to maintain such child-like tendencies, isn’t it? One thing that I hope to always maintain and possess as a child is my faith. When I see the stars at night, I enjoy the remembrance of the shepherds keeping watch over their flock, the wise men following the star and the best Christmas Gift of all time being wrapped in swaddling clothes. If this is just the little boy inside of me, so be it! Maybe its more than that though… maybe its the development of more and more wisdom (year after year… hike after hike… and camp after camp). After all- WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM 🙂

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
