God certainly brought an interesting cast of characters to Bethlehem. How about those Wise Men/Kings/Magi who came from the East (Matthew 2:1-12) to bring gifts and worship the baby Jesus? One of my favourite Far Side cartoons is this one.
We can learn a lesson from the Wise Men - a lesson of obedience, courage, generosity, and worship.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Lord, may we be like the Wise Men
who were guided to you by a star.
Give us
the wisdom to seek you,light to guide us to you,courage to search until we find you,graciousness to worship youand generosity to lay our gifts before you,
who are our King and our God for ever and ever.
Amen.
