Ordinary, But Willing

Luke 2

17 After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. 18 All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, 19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. 20 The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.

The first Gospel Evangelists were shepherds. Ordinary guys at the bottom of the social and job ladder chosen by the God of all creation to be the first to spread the News about the birth of Messiah. God uses the ordinary to proclaim the extraordinary. God can use even a goober like me, so long as I am willing to be His vessel. I am. Are you?
