The giving of gifts

We had a great Christmas Eve with the Shaws.  After a wonderful dinner, Jerry read the story of the birth of Jesus Christ as the kids acted out the nativity. They all did a great job.  We ended the spiritual lesson with my favorite song from The Forgotten Carols, The Innkeeper.  This song is so powerful, that you can feel the emotions the innkeeper must have felt the night he found out that he turned the parents of Jesus Christ away.  The message of "Let Him In" brings tears to my eyes.  Are you letting Him In?
