Yesterday i met a man with a t-shirt, it was written: 'I have no problem with God but with the people of his fan-Club.' I had to talk to him - hope he takes my offer seriously.
Lk2,1-20 The Cesar is counting. Exactly in the time when Maria is pregnant. Joseph need to go to Bethlehem. And when they are there and nobody had room for them, also Maria was ready now to give birth - maybe that was the reason why nobody gave room, nobody wants to have problems with a birth in their own house. Life is enough complicated without a birth in the only one room people in this days had - and then Jesus is born. It is not when every thing is nice and calm. It is when every thing is on the edge. He is not just born in a stable and laid down in a box from which animals are eating. He is not at home. His mother lies in hey on the ground and freezes - probably. Joseph is exhausted as well - i know how i felt after Nina ore Nikolai were born. But out there - no one helped - they experienced the miracle. God's only Son is born and lives now on earth. Day one of the life of Jesus. A most uncomfortable day. Exposed to a Cesar's will, to selfish people, unprotected by men sleeping in a feed manger.
Why is God organizing such a stressful time for the birth of Jesus, his only Son? Why can he not just be born in their own home, peaceful and well protected? I often want to have a peaceful time. Am i good in a turmoil - no - but God is still in control and good to me.
There was no Angel in the Stable. There was no visible power from God, when Jesus was born. Just this little Baby in the arms of Maria and Joseph.
The Angle were outside of the village in the fields. Talking and sinning to the shepherds. No holy shine around the feed manger but in the sky over some sleeping sheep's.


If things look difficult to me. Overwhelming -
God still is in control
Great moments are prepared and ready for me - if i just surrender and trust God
So it will be obvious God moved not little scared Christoph
