Thank You, God, for this day that reminds us what journeys are all about. We have finished packing up Christmas and entered a new calendar year, but the Wise Men, traveling across a wide and lonely desert have just arrived at the manger. They didn't take their time. They were moving as fast as they could, but they missed what we consider the main event. Or have we? Getting to know You takes time, patience, energy and imagination, qualities these three on camels probably exercised in their many days together before reaching Your son. Remind us of the lessons they can teach us about You. Amen.
