I received the following story the other day and had to finish out the Christmas season with a winner. You just never know what kids are going to say or how they will react. But, leave it to them to do us proud when we least expect it.
In a Sunday School Christmas play, a young man with a very tender heart was asked to play the part of the innkeeper. Each rehearsal he found it difficult to play his role because he had to turn Joseph and Mary away from the inn. On the night of the performance, he was overcome by the sadness of making Jesus be born in a stable. As Joseph turned away from the inn, he yelled, “Wait! Come back here! You can have my room!” The teacher thought he had ruined the Christmas story but the pastor got up and stopped the play. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Don’t turn Jesus away tonight!” Many people accepted Jesus as their Savior that night.
I hope you have made room for Jesus in all of your holiday festivities. After all, it is His birth that we celebrate.
