Where's the Manger Today?

If Mary and Joseph were to have the birth of Jesus today, could it be like this?

 

 
Joe and Mary from a small rural town
had to travel to the big city
although she was about to give birth
they received no help and none gave pity.
 
The old rusty car they traveled in
just barely made the long trip
but every place they tried to get a room
gave this poor couple the same old quip.
 
Although she was pregnant they all said “no.”
with voices that were loud and bold.
So she was forced to give birth to her child
underneath a bridge in the bitter cold.
 
There were no animals surround them
just cars passing on the busy street
not knowing that in this remote place
a child was born so loving and sweet.
 
Where will you find his manger this year?
Are you looking in the right place?
Perhaps, when you think he’s not here at all
you end up seeing him face to face.

Our Mother taught us to never turn anyone away as we'll never know who's face we are pushing away. Great write Larry.

Jesus is a very important part of my life this Christmas Season, withou him I wouldn't be so happy. He is there for me always and I surely do need him lots.

Larry,

So profound. A modern day image of the Christmas story. And where indeed, is the manger this year? Wonderful write.

Mary

Outstanding writing, Larry. I like the part in seeing Jesus face to face. I feel him with me constantly.

GOD BLESS YOU
TONY
