Holy or Lowly??

As I have grown up I had always heard that Christ was born in a barn because he wanted to come lowly. I suppose I agree with the idea, that God wanted to present his wonderful son in a humble understandable package to the average man. I can see that it is a contrast to the idea of a king, born in a golden palace surrounded by those subservient to him from birth. Wrapped in fine linen, laid in a glorious cradle, sung to sleep by his loyal subjects. Definitely a sharp contrast to his actual birth. Or is it? I would purpose that the place of his birth was not only lowly, but also HOLY. He was born in the presents of HIS creations the way he made them, simple and exactly the way he made them. I am sure their knew the presents of their creator. I am sure they stood in awe with gentle bleats and soft noise to praise his sweet little name. He was in the fresh open air of the earth he created, wrapped with love by a young mother that he knew before her own birth, and laid in the golden sweet straw of the manger. He was worshiped by the angels, made just for that business. Worshiped also by the Shepherds in tune with the nature that surrounded them and with out great education understood this event. There in that barn, it WAS a holy place!
I still find God so easily in the barn, where his creations still function the way he made them so many thousands of years ago. They still know their place in the scheme of things, and no matter what happens they plug on, doing what they were created to do. They don't fight his will for their life, a goat doesn't try to be a dog, or cat a chicken. They are most generally happy and content being the creature they were made to be..... they are exactly how God made them, living as he intended, showing us his perfect plan in there very existence. With that said I would argue that for me a barn is not a lowly place, but a HOLY place. For if all those present are projecting the perfect plan of God, in just the way God made them, how much more Holy can you get.....
