The
truth of the nativity
of
the stable, the manger
the
blessing of the incarnation
not
what we think
Messy
reality
what
it was to be Mary
Joseph,
the others
not
some clean version
the
antiseptic manger,
the
stable where Christ was born
far
more human
messy
reality
more
like what we can relate to
the
struggles in our life
