While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her first born, a son. She wrapped him in clothes and placed him in a manger, becuase there was no room for them in the inn. And there were sheperds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over thier flocks at night. An Angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord showed around them and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ' Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all the people. Today in the City of David a Savior has been born to you, He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you, you will find a baby, wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger.'  Suddenly a great company of heavenly hosts appeared with the angel saying, "glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men on whom his favor rests." After the angels had left them and gone into heaven the sheperds said to one another, ' lets go and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.'
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.  When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,  and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.  But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.  Mary has a very good heart about this. As Mom stated yesterday, She had a lot to be mopy about. You don't have an inn to stay in, it's probably cold, kinda dark, and Jesus is having to stay in a slobery food contianer. But she doesn't look at the bad, she looks at the good.
