Stardate 12.25.2025
The wait is over.
A Savior is born.
He is called Emmanuel, which means God is with us. It doesn’t get any better than that.
The other day at my day job, all hell was breaking loose. As I headed out for a break, my boss looked at me and said, “Find some joy today.”
I did.
It wasn’t loud or flashy. It was the kind of joy you feel deep in your heart — the kind that doesn’t falter, no matter what storm you’re facing. The kind that steadies you when circumstances refuse to cooperate.
The One who calms the storms is now with us.
Not for a season.
Not for a moment.
But for all of eternity.
From my family to yours, I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
May the peace of Christ be with you today — and all days.
🖖 Captain’s Addendum
Bones: “Michael, you’re telling me joy shows up even when things are falling apart?”
Spock: “Correct, Doctor. Joy is not dependent on external conditions.”
Bones: “Then what is it dependent on?”
Spock: “Presence. And today, the data confirms… Emmanuel.”
Michael’s Reflection:
Joy isn’t the absence of chaos. It’s the quiet assurance that we’re not alone in it. Christmas reminds me that God didn’t wait for the world to calm down before showing up. He came right into the middle of it.
📖 Scripture for the Day
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.”
— Isaiah 9:2
🙏 Quiet Gratitude
Thank you for sharing this holy day with me. May you carry the calm of Christ into every room you enter, and may His joy remain with you long after the decorations come down.
🖖
