I love reading about the birth of Christ. Reading that passage in Luke is so comforting. I stop and think about how life was like back then &#8211; back when Jesus was first born. I imagine the sound of the heavenly host, praising Him. Can you imagine how that sounded? I&#8217;m sure that joyful noise from the heavenly host rose into the air with a tantalizing, wonderful boom &#8211; a boom full of joy and praise!
