Description
WHAT:
A middle-aged innkeeper humorously recalls the chaos of Bethlehem during the census—so many people, so much noise, and absolutely no space. But when he remembers turning away Mary and Joseph, a quiet sadness enters his voice. He realizes too late that he missed the greatest moment in history because he was overwhelmed and rushed.
THEME:
Don’t let busyness keep you from seeing God’s presence.
