Holy Manger
The fairy children gathered around a manger scene.
“Why is that Baby Big Person in a trough?” Twinkles asked.
“That’s a funny place to sleep,” Tilly said.
“That’s sort of a statue of the Son of the King of Everything,”
Mama Fairy told them.
“What!” The fairy children gasped
“Didn’t He live in a palace?” Doodles asked.
“Why did he have to sleep in a food trough?” Winkle wondered.
“They didn’t have room for him at the Inn,” Mama said.
“So while they traveled, He slept in a barn.”
They stared at Mama Fairy with open mouths.
“The King of Everything wanted to make sure
Big People didn’t get mixed up.
They tend to think greatness
has to do with skills, riches or power.
But Baby Jesus is great because of who He is.
He is a gift to anyone
who makes room for him in his or her life—
the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich.”
“We’ll make room for Him,” Milly said.
All of the fairy children nodded in agreement.
