Join the Crowding

 Our mini nativity set has gotten much use over the years as indicated by the wear on the little pieces, not the least of which shows up in a one-eared donkey. This did not seem to matter to some young girls whose family was at our house as guests last night. After they left this morning, I found the nativity set with its characters crowding in as close as possible around the Baby. That's how I wish to be this Christmas season: coming in beside those who encircle Jesus in worship, having eyes (and hearts) only for the world's Best Gift.
