I had a real unusual one the other
night. A man came to me saying that his wife was about to give birth. When he
led me out, I thought that we were going to the inn, but he led me out back, to
the stable, explaining that the inn was too full for
this.
His wife was a pretty young girl,
pregnant with her first child. It was a shame, that she had to give birth in a
stable. Seems to me that space could have been found somewhere else. She did
have some privacy there, however. The birth was fairly easy for a first child,
and that baby boy sure was a beautiful baby! Such a good little baby, too. He cried
very little and seemed unusually alert for a new born baby. It sure seemed like
He was looking around to see everything. The young mother put Him into the manger
for lack of anyplace to use as a bed. He seemed not to mind, for He went right
to sleep. Just as I was leaving, some shepherds came around looking for the
baby. Seems that they had been told about the birth by some angels. It sure
makes you wonder, what kind of person this baby is going to be for this kind of
reception to His birth. The father was quite taken aback by their appearance.
That was something by the way. I'm not sure that the boy will look much like
his father. It is early, though, and I could be mistaken about that. I'd like
to meet the child when He grows up just to see how He turns out.
