ON THE 7TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS…
As we sit yearly and
watch or read the story of Christ’s birth we are inwardly shocked, annoyed,
surprised, astounded…even judgemental of all those many Inn keepers of
Bethlehem and their blatant disregard for Joseph and especially his VERY
pregnant Mary. How could someone just
turn them away…don’t they realize who it is at the door? “I would NEVER have done that!!!” I would have surly kicked someone out and
found even a small room for them. But
would we have? Do we today? Aren’t we as guilty as those Inn keeper of
being caught up in our hectic overstimulated lives and find not a spare minute
for anything spiritual…those simple basic moments of a prayer or a verse of
scripture. Do we not get so focused on our lives that we don’t really look at
those around us? Think of 3 places you have been today and try to remember
something about the person that was next to you. Maybe…just maybe…it’s not so
surprising that those busy Inn keepers didn’t REALLY see who was at their door
either. What does the sign on your personal
Inn say?
Here is the one place
that Santa has the lead…sadly. I can’t
think of a single person who forgets about Santa…ever.
