To Busy?

Hello Everyone,
Dear Santa, (From a 4-year-old) I’ll take anything because I haven’t been that good.

Dear Santa, I’m not going to ask for a lot. Here’s my list: The Etch-A-Sketch animator, 2 packs of #2 pencils, Crayola fat markers and the big gift...my own color TV! Well, maybe you could drop the pencils; I don’t want to be really selfish.

Not only did the innkeeper miss the baby, but the other travelers and the people of Bethlehem missed the Baby.
HE was right under their noses, but they missed Him.

What would you do if you knew the Queen of England was coming to your city, your suburb, your street? What if there was no room at the local hotel for her. Would you think of offering up your bed to her? No-one thought to do that for Mary and the baby to be born. They had their own concerns.

Most of the fellow travelers were also on the road for the census. They were in a hurry to get places and were just too worn out from a long day’s travel to have time to visit a baby. The townsfolk were overrun with visitors to their city. There were the party’s, the relatives, dinner with aunt Bob and uncle Sue.

Their calendar was too full and they were just too busy to squeeze in a visit to a tiny baby.

Our programs can be so hectic that we are just too tired to think about another thing. We are so busy trying to get somewhere in life or so busy doing things that we can’t stop to give any time to the Baby and so we miss Him.

Is this you? Do you need to cancel some of your engagements this Christmas so you can find yourself in Church, so you can visit this baby and find out what he can do for you? Don’t miss the baby by being too busy.

All for Jesus
Phil
