Take a moment to set aside the traditional pictures of the manger and use your heart to read the following.
a gasp, a cry
an exhausted mother's sigh
a father's teardrops
a heavenly umbilical cord cut and tied
a sweet aroma of fresh hay
a tiny gurgle as rosebud lips find milk
a whispered prayer
a naming as God commanded
a squeak of rafters as birds and mice gather
a gentle breeze to fan the fire
a clip and clop of a donkey's feet
a quiet baa-aa and a gentle moo
a ray of starlight
a flutter of angel wings
a silence
a moment realizing God's sacrifice- His only Son
a yip of a sheepdog on the hillside
an owl's hoot as he hunts
a rowdy laugh from the inn
a braying camel on the dusty road
a mother and babe sleep
a father watches
an angel guards
a world waits
