What I hope happens as I set this Isaac story before you and as you worship this morning is that you will be observant and aware and in love with this life that is in you and before you. We are in training in order to enjoy and nurture and encourage and affirm every instance of life. We are determined never to be negligent of it and always aware of it. We want to avoid abusing it and instead practice celebrating it. God creates life among us. Christ’s birth is the climaxing birth story that summarizes and emphasizes and continues in a sequence of miracle births.
