The angel said to them, " Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."
The angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds working in the field to proclaim the good news. The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see what the Lord had made known to them. They left in haste a found the infant lying in the manger with Mary and Joseph. The shepherds told the message they heard and Mary reflected all in her heart. The shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the had heard and seen.
Can you imagine being a shepherd ?
Merry Christmas
