This time of year is so busy
Not enough hours in the day
Too many distractions
Is this how it has to be
Visitors on the way
Meal preparations
Rooms to get ready
How many will come to stay
So much trepidation
What of Joseph and Mary
Whom I turned away
Here for the taxation
I heard she had her baby
What did those shepherds say
“A child is born for our salvation!”
“And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.”
Luke 2:7, 20 ESV
