Holding Heaven page 7 by ric gustafson
" Four men and a boy walked in. I could tell they were shepherds".
An older shepherd spoke up. " Is there a baby here?".
Joseph stared at the shepherd. " Why do you ask?".
" We mean no harm". The elder shepherd grinned. " An angel of the Lord told us to come and not be afraid".
" What did this angel tell you?".
" He was bringing us good news of great joy". The young boy was staring at the baby. " This is my son Shimon".
" What was the good news the angel proclaimed?".
" That the Messiah was born tonight in Bethlehem".
" How did you know where we were?".
" The star up above and that the baby was in a manger wrapped in strips of cloth".
" They came in. You were settled next to your mother. They knelt before you. They thanked God for you".
Jesus yawned.
" We need to get you back". Joseph smiled. " I will continue the story later".
