A Conspiracy of Love

1:20

Who doesn’t love a good whodunit?  There is mystery, intrigue, twists and turns in the plot and great delight when we come to the end and find the resolve. 

Sort of like the conspiracy of love that happens at Christmas. 

Before our very eyes we see changes – good and wholesome changes.

Scrooges become kinder

Beggars often find their want satisfied

Merchants hear the gentle ringing of their cash registers

Food seems to flow for the entire world

Relationships are often restored

Love is expressed in bundles and basketfuls

It is a conspiracy of love. 

It started with a love gift from heaven that was predicted centuries before. 

And the grand news is – love came down to mankind bundled as a baby and laid in a manger.

The world has been different because of that baby. 

We see kindness where harshness once was.

We see smiles replacing frowns.

We see joy creeping across a worried brow.

We see plenty.

We hear laughter.

We hear singing.

We see unity in unusual places.

All because of a conspiracy of love. 

“Blessed is the season 

which engages the whole world

in a Conspiracy of love.”

-Hamilton Write Mabie

Blessed indeed!
