Wait a minute! Isn’t it supposed to be the star of Bethlehem at Christmas! Well, yes, but . . .

We don’t see that star in the same way that the wise men did all those years ago. However, we can enjoy the stars that we do see when we look into the night sky. They were created for the glory of God (Psalm 19:1).

Back to the blueberries. Most mornings we eat cereal with fruit of different kinds–bananas, strawberries, peaches, and blueberries. I began to notice that the opening on one side of the blueberry was in the shape of a star. Just as with the stars in the sky, each one is different. Adding the milk brought out more definition to the shapes.

After continuing to watch the blueberries, one day I noticed one that looked more like a cross than a star. That got me to pondering. Since it’s close to Christmas, we think about the star of Bethlehem that led the wise men to Jesus. Jesus came as a human baby, but He knew that the purpose of His coming to earth was to die on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins.

EVEN BLUEBERERIES AND MILK CAN PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS!
