I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas week and these days of preparation for a new year ahead! For Joseph and Mary in busy Bethlehem, I have to believe these were very stressful days trying to move out of that smelly stable and into something more suitable for a newborn baby, especially considering that baby was God incarnate! I wonder how many times Joseph found himself alone in that busy town crying out to God asking for God’s help in providing even the most basic needs for his young wife and baby.
