Today is Epiphany, the day we remember the visit of the Magi to see the Christ child. Our family had our annual Epiphany party this past Sunday. We invited another family over and had a Middle Eastern-type chicken dish for dinner. It was simple to prepare and it was a big hit, so I think it will become an Epiphany staple. The dads and kids played a board game after dinner while the mommies talked. I found some really neat ornaments at Walmart this year with scriptures about the Magi on them. I gave them as gifts for the occasion. When we finally looked up at the clock it was 8:45 p.m.--past bedtimes, so we quickly ended the party, much to the dismay of all the kids.
It's interesting to consider that the Wisemen were Gentiles and that they were some of the first on the scene to worship Jesus. It reminds me of God's grace and how we, as Gentiles, are grafted into the olive tree. (Rom. 11:17) Praise God for His marvelous workings among men!
