Gift of the Magi

We do certain things in anticipation of certain results. But what happens when you’ve been following a star with the idea in mind that it will lead you to something spectacular but, instead, it leads you to something humble and unassuming?

What do you do when, after dreaming that you will find a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, you end up beside a rusting, empty pot? Instead of finding the pomp and ceremony of a regal king in a palace, the wise men that followed a promising bright star for so long found themselves in a humble dwelling with a little toddler in the arms of his teen-aged mother.
