I love the story of the Shepherds. Being a mother I see what a wonderful gift they were to Mary. When we have babies today we have family and friends who come and share in our joy. Mary and Joseph were alone. I imagine when they showed up to worship the baby and share in their joy of His birth how wonderful that feeling must have been for Mary. She wasn’t alone and the Lord literally showed her that.
Another lesson that I love about the Shepherds is that “they came with haste” as it says in Luke 2:16. They didn’t question what the Angel had told them. They left their flock and ran to see the baby Jesus. Are we that quick to obey when we are told we need to do something, or change, when the Prophets speak? The Shepherds are great examples of obedience.
