The Last Spot in the Inn
©2004 Ruth Marlene Friesen
See that couple walking so slowly, so wearily there? At least, the woman appears great with
child, and is leaning on her husband quite a great deal. There. They sat down and the man is giving
her a drink from their goat skin bottle.
Of course they are coming with the rest of this swarm of people into Bethlehem to register for
Caesar's tax. Everyone is so pushy! That couple will be the last ones to the Inn. There may not be
room for them.
Ah, thankfully we've got a space in the Inn, but there's not another place to lie down here!
Oh look-- there comes that couple limping in. Well, I feel badly for them, but I'm not about to give
up my bedroll spot. No-sir-ee, I paid dear for it!
Psst-- I see you've been watching them too. Kind of the inn-keeper to send them around to the
stable, don't you think? Sure looks like a birthing tonight, and it would be a shame for that little
woman to have her child out in that chilly night air, under the stars, no?
Huh-ah-what! Hannah, why are you banging through the door with your buckets in the middle of the
night? Can't a body sleep here?
"A wonderful thing happened tonight! That poor couple in the stable have just had a baby boy!
God-sent I'd say. Just to look at him makes me want to sing and worship God!"
Others in the inn are rolling over and telling her to shut up. Since I don't have to I roll over and
try to sleep.
However, it seems I hear loud voices off in the distance. Is that shouting from the sky? I hear--
"Glory to God in the Highest!" I sit up with a start, my eyes on the open window, "and on earth,"
(that's awfully bright moonlight out there! "Peace and goodwill to all men!"
I confess, I'm in a cold sweat. Could that be angels? To whom are they talking like that? Has God
come down to earth tonight?
