Tis the Season...for Disappointment

Have you ever stopped to consider the journey of the Magi from a slightly different perspective? Do you ever think about the disappointment these men must have experienced. Think of the
hundreds if not thousands of miles they traveled by camel only to discover that the star had come to rest over a stable. They had followed a star and found a stable. Wouldn't they expect a palace or perhaps a stately mansion. Can you imagine their vast disappointment as they look down from a Judean hillside only to realize that their destination was a stable.

What disappoints you most often during the Christmas season? Why do you think it affects you the way it does? Would asking the right questions, being persistent and remembering the reason for the season help with your dissappointment?
