The Christmas Story

Advent Devotion 21

Traveling far and wide
Searching for a safe haven
Being turned away from shelter
Finally being accepted, thinking their work is done

Starry sky, bright light, a mission
Three men searching for their Savior
Following the illuminated sign
Knowing the final destination will be in their favor

The beauty of life unfolding
A mother and a father connected by flesh
Surrounded by grateful persons
Breathing in the relief-filled air around; fresh

The three men making the scene
Bearing gifts of frankincense, myrrh, and gold
Feasting their eyes upon their destiny
Marking forever in that inconvenient household
