Births are a natural thing and happen every day, but the mysteries of this specific birth have been passed through story and song for years. We all recall the first time we heard about the Blessed Birth. It involved a partnership, the journey, the angels and the star. Over the years, details have been acknowledged and the story grows with us — the donkey, the birthplace, more angels, shepherds and wise people with camels. Add in a little Christmas spirit and the details vary every year, but the theme remains. A baby portrays love, people respond in various ways to love, life goes on no matter the circumstances, and the world is a good place. Our part in the story is to live every day the hope, peace, joy and love that is so important to the Christmas story. The folks at Brussels United were in a happening spot. Bethlehem came to church with the usual; a lot of unusual angels, some pretty cute shepherds and a few dubious kings. Mary and Joseph arrived with their own unique donkey, very friendly relaxed and polite. While enjoying the admiration of the villagers for a job well done, Buddy, without the grey ears and coat might be mistaken for the VanderMeer's nice dog. Scarves and stoles got the congregation in the mood as they were the village people in the story.
