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.

Don’t let busyness keep you from seeing God’s presence.
