Holding Heaven page 6 by ric gustafson
Jesus looked at Joseph.
" I will continue my story".
" After thanking the Innkeeper, I secured the donkey. I grabbed a rake and made a private area made of hay for your mother. From the last of our foodstocks, I ate. Your mother did not. I made a bed of hay for your mother. Then her labor started. I built a small fire. While your mother was in labor, I held her hand".
" When you came, I did what the midwife told me to do. Your mother wiped you dry and then wrapped you tightly in cloth. When your mother could no longer keep her eyes open, she asked me to hold you. When I had you in my arms, I felt as if I was holding heaven. Later while I slept, your mother was holding you.
When we were both awake holding you, I heard a noise from the entrance to the stable. Then I heard a strange voice.
" This has to be the place".
