I just came across this image today. It's a modern day take on Joseph and Mary, on their way to Bethlehem. At first I was repulsed. Then I was ashamed. Then I started thinking, that's probably the same reaction Mary and Joseph received 2000 years ago - rejection.
I've always loved the "air brushed" (or should I say white washed?) manger scene, it's so cute with the furry animals and the little baby. You get older and you realize how smelly and dirty the stable was. You learn how the Cross overshadowed the Crib. But I always felt sentimental about it. This picture turned that feeling inside out. This was God's Christmas gift to me this year.
