How big can you wish for Christmas?
How about traveling across the globe, a last-minute surprise, and all right at Christmas?
Logistically, it sounds impossible, but it was a Christmas wish come true for Heather Thompson.
Heather’s younger sister was graduating in Australia, and Heather was working in Nova Scotia, Canada. Making it halfway across the world in time seemed impossible, yet things began to line up like Christmas dominoes under a holiday tree. Heather’s supervisor said, “Sure, let’s do this.” Then the impossible approval for extra days from work came through. A last-minute airline ticket opened up … and then the most special part of all.
That Christmas, Heather arrived in a box (literally!) thanks to an Australian courier company who good naturedly loaded Heather into a box, set the box on her sister’s doorstep, and rang the bell to let her sister know she had a delivery.
“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” – Galatians 4:4-5.
It sounds impossible, doesn’t it, for humanity to be adopted as the sons and daughters of the Most High God?
Impossible isn’t part of God’s nature. Jesus arrived packaged in a manger. God used his angels to ring the bell to let us know we had a gift. That gift is salvation, freely available for all mankind.
Merry Christmas to one and all!!
