Working on the Inn-Side
One ancient story of this season is a story about journeys people took to experience a new birth. This week I’d like to “play” with one part of the story that I find most interesting. I’m pretty sure that all of us, regardless of our religious tradition, are familiar with the story of Jesus’ birth. The particular section I want to focus on is the story about how there was no room for Jesus at the local Holiday Inn. Or was it a Motel 6?
This week as each of us prepare in our own way for the holiday of Christmas, I want to explore some of those rooms that are a part of our “inn-side”. Hopefully you will be challenged to invite Holy Presence into each of these rooms. While my faith tradition is Christianity, you are free to invite Holy Presence within these rooms through whatever faith tradition you claim. A new week is unfolding. I will introduce you to a new room each day.
For today, journey to your “inn-side” and try to figure out what 4 rooms I am going to present. Consider this a warm up exercise for Christmas day as you try to guess what I’ve got “inn-side” my devotional box this week. Have a great week, friends!
