While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Luke 2:6-7 NIV
There were no FB updates or txts...but as people gathered for the census the word got around that Joseph and his partner were going to have a baby...and soon!
A couple of the aunty's take over "Joe, do something useful while you're waiting - you're a carpenter - fix up this feed box so the baby has somewhere to sleep..."
In the most ordinary of ways, in a most ordinary place, Jesus gave up his power, & shrunk himself to become one of us...God entered His Story  to make a way - to BE The Way
