Luke 2

I have been thinking a lot 

about the town of Bethlehem

since our time there this past January 2022.

A town of no prominence.

Changed forever with a story of a baby,

 shepherds and angels.

There are very few signs left 

in this city of that amazing event.

Very few Christians even live there anymore.

This little town of David, 

beheld the greatest event in all of time.

Today it doesn't mark the passing of days

 on a calendar that marks the years since this birth.

A palindrome marks this day,

marching along one after another.

How do we set out to mark the days

 that turn on the calendar pages?

That we don't forget this birth 

that changed an entire world for all time.

Feb. 22, 2022 is written out numerically 

as 2/22/22.

Not only is it a palindrome because 

it reads the same forward and backward,

but what makes it special is the date has all twos.

It will also be the same no matter

what part of the world you're in,

regardless of whether your country

uses the day-month-year 

or year-month-day-format.

It's TWOSDAY.

But, what I want to remember today 

is that because of that baby,

shepherd and angel story-

we have HIS  STORY for all of history.
