Shepherds were dirty and stinky and poor. They were lowly. But God doesn't care what we look like. Which is why a lowly shepherd and his low sheep, on a low hill, in a lowly town, on the very first Christmas, were the first to be in line to meet the savior of the world. And then...
Or how old we are.
Or where we're from.
Or how much money we have.
He loves us no matter what.
