Christmas Day was drawing near, and a young mother was moving quickly from store to store in a stressful way. Suddenly, as she juggled bags and boxes, she became aware the little hand of her three year old son was no longer clutched in hers.
In a panic she retraced her steps and found him standing with his little nose pressed against a window. He was staring intently at a manger scene. In his excitement, he missed his mother’s frantic tone.
With innocent excitement he shouted, "Look mommy! It’s Jesus, baby Jesus in the hay!"
Missing his joy and wonder, she impatiently jerked him away saying, "We don’t have time for that!"
