I was reading an article about building family vacations and it recommended ensuring to stop and see roadside attractions, such as the world's largest ball of twine. There are all sorts of such places across America, including Carhenge and Foamhenge. These aren't usually in urban hotspots -- they're typically fairly out of the way.
What if I told you that the Savior of the free world would be born in such a place? You'd probably be surprised, right?
Mary certainly was! The Gospel is a reminder that God shows up in unexpected places in unexpected ways. God is at work, and not using the methods the world uses. We have to be prepared to see God anywhere, everywhere, because God can surprise us. God sees the whole world as God's domain, and so God will work at all times in all places with all people. So may we open our minds and hearts to how God is at work, and may we recognize the urgency to proclaim the Gospel to every corner of the world.
