Pashmina, Velour, Fur and Ivory
Competitive Britons Send Nativity Costs Soaring
LONDON (Reuters) - Gone are the days of shepherds in tea towels and tinsel-clad angels. Parents in Britain are forking out on luxury pashmina shawls and velour dressing gowns to make their child the star of the annual nativity play. The rise in so-called "manger chic" has seen parents spend up to 150 pounds ($250) on arctic fur throws for children cast as sheep and ivory bridesmaid dresses for angels, according to department stores group Debenhams. "The amount of money that some parents want to spend on their child's nativity play appearance would enable Baby Jesus to leave the stable and check into a five star hotel," said spokesman Ed Watson. Debenhams is keen not to encourage the trend. "While we applaud parents for wanting to do their very best for their children, we feel certain that the story of The Nativity can still be told using very simple materials," Watson said.
Think back to the Christmas story we read yesterday, from Luke chapter 2. Mary wrapped Jesus up in some cloths. Nothing fancy, perhaps not even new. Take note that in the entire story of Jesus’ arrival, there is no reference to Mary & Joseph sending out announcements. The angels announced his birth. A star announced his birth. It appears that Mary & Joseph didn't really do anything to call attention to Jesus birth. God took care of making the news known. And He still works that way today.
God is seeking all of us. Some of us have decided to let him into our lives; some of us haven’t. The truth remains, God is always seeking us. Whether we say we’re Christians or not, God is making himself known to us. Have you recognized his activity in the world around you?
Prayer:
Dear God – Like the way you announced Jesus’ birth to many back in Bethlehem, you also announce yourself to us today. Please make yourself known to us through the world and your Word.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
