About dinner time yesterday Ruben called with questions he received from Holy Spirit. He feels the questions are to help everyone realize that this month is about more than giving and receiving gifts, and having parties; though those things are good, but to inspire us to look deeper, search out the details, see something we might have missed previously. To not lose sight of what and why we’re celebrating. Holy Spirit is moving.
For The Journey and Ruben,
Judy
Holy Spirit: Where did the star that led the wise men to Jesus originate from? Which direction did it travel? How long did it take? Where did it return to after leading them to the destination? Where was the destination?
Then: That one star was brighter and gave more light than anything else in the heavens. What was it? If a star, was it just one? What spoke to those men? What motivated them to recognize that star/light? To follow it? How did they know it would lead them to the King of the Jews?
Whether they were religious/spiritual men or not, something got their attention; like the Virgin Mary, Apostle Paul, like Samson…..
Did these men, these kings, know each other before setting out on their journey? Were they from the same place? What country? Were they of the same race?
I hope you have fun with these questions, especially if you have young children or grand children to search out the answers with. May you be blessed as you are led by Holy Spirit, and please share with us what you learn. Ruben is eager to hear your responses.
With that we take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
