Advent Day 13 - He is Born

 

Luke 2: 6-7

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

It wasn’t much more than a shed,

Barely cover at best,

But it is was all that they could find

To give birth and to rest.

Joseph must have swept back the muck

And spread clean straw around,

But he could not clear out the smell,

Or warm the frozen ground.

And so, the Savior of mankind

Was born on barnyard straw.

A humble start for one who would

Soon fill the world with awe.
