They hang by small hooks or ribbons upon branches of the Christmas trees. Globes and boxes, strings and shapes, homemade and manufactured, big ones, small ones and all of them with their own importance as they are displayed. Some of them represent teams, and others are simple and bland. Some of them shine, and others of them are very nondescript, but nonetheless, all of them make up an important part of the celebrations for the season. Ornaments add color, festivity, and enjoyment to the most wonderful day of the year.
Who made those ornaments? Who is responsible for their form? Who decided the colors and how big or small they should be? There must have been someone involved in the process or else the product would not be seen, right? And, even if the ornament is homemade, someone made decisions about the breath and length of the decoration, didn't they? Why, of course, there must have been a maker in order for their to be an ornament made, right?
People, in some ways, are very much like ornaments. They come in various shapes and sizes. They come in different colors and have many features about them. Should these people be identical twins there are still differences that appear, and even if there be four, five or six or more that are born at the same time, there still will be noticeable deviations. These people too have a maker, a designer and a creator who made them to be what they are, and the wonderful part of this day above all the days of the year is that this is the day when the creator of the ornaments became an ornament himself for all the world to know and see.
Ornaments are all around, and the creator of them is too. One must only look in the direction of the tree of humanity, and both the marvel of the ornaments and the creator of them will make what is normally a festive season even more merry than it ever was before.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
