O Little Town Of Bethlehem

From a small, nondescript, insignificant town comes the news of a boy being born. Not just any boy but the Savior of the world! Prior to being the birthplace of Jesus it was significant only in that it was also the birthplace of King David.
Through personal experience and observation I have seen that God uses most often the small, nondescript, and insignificant to accomplish incredible things. Even towns. And babies. And poor carpenters and young girls. It was the biggest news headline of the day and was missed by almost everyone. It's still the biggest news headline and it is still missed by too many. And while the little town of Bethlehem has grown up a bit, for we all do, it carries with it today the significance of being the birthplace of the Savior. The amazing news for us is that we can be the home place of the Savior!
