Same Old Story

We all know and love the Christmas story. I’ve heard it and celebrated it my whole life.
It is the MOST AWESOME STORY EVER.

“And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” – Luke 2:7

But this year, after all the years of reading and listening, all the years of Christmas programs and Christmas caroling,
This year the Holy Spirit makes it new and different and written just for me . . .
“There was no room for them…”

Will it be another season of hustle and bustle, shopping and wrapping, cooking and baking, cleaning and entertaining, weeks of feeling so busy that I’m not sure I’m going to make it . . .

Or this year, will I “make room for HIM.”

So simple, so cut-to-the-chase, so clarifying . . .
This Christmas season, this life, I’m called to “make room for HIM.”

And the MOST AWESOME STORY EVER touches my heart in a new way . . .
He loves us unconditionally.
