One of my favorite carols from childhood is O Little Town of Bethlehem. It speaks of the hopes and fears of all the years meeting in Bethlehem on the night of the birth of Jesus. Christ is the King of the Gentiles and of the Jews, the desire of every human heart, and who come in a dirty and smelly stable. He will come anywhere to meet his beloved - no place is too out of the way, too inconvenient, too messy. All the fears of my heart come to the Lord in Bethlehem so the little child may calm them. All hopes of my heart come to the Lord in Bethlehem so the little child may fulfill them!
