Lullaby, and ... good morning!

When we see a newborn, we see opportunity, hope, potentiality. At this point in his or her life, it seems that nothing is outside of the realm of possibility. We can live vicariously for a bit, wondering how things would have gone differently in our lives if... But the difference in today's feast is that John hadn't even been born yet and was already living out his life's call. Pointing out the Savior; heralding His advent. Even the wonderful and beautiful and untainted are intended by God to be lifted to higher heights, even before they're born. May we never be satisfied with less than the divine.
