Everything is holy and revelatory of God. If nothing else, the Incarnation shows us the Presence of God in everyday life---in eating and sleeping, in work and in prayer, in relationships with other people, in gathering, harvesting, and planting, in study and in seeking. God Himself has entered into the life He created and blessed it with His Presence.
People tend to think of the Incarnation as a historic event, like the Civil War, that happened one time and now is over. But the Incarnation is on-going; the message of the Resurrection is "He is Alive!" (and Present!) Nature and prayer and those who believe are our contact-points with the living God in our midst.
