ROOM FOR JESUS

A London hotel chain says this Christmas there will be plenty of room at the Inn for Mary and Joseph. The Travelodge in Covent Garden is offering couples named Mary and Joseph a free night's stay over Christmas this year.

Hotel Manager Sandy Leckie says, "We are trying to make up for the hotel industry not having any rooms left on Christmas Eve, 2004 years ago. "He says his motel is more comfortable than a stable, and adds, "I just hope they don't bring their donkey." Leckie says the offer has only one proviso, the Marys and Josephs have to prove their identities first. Leckie did not say whether or not the hotel could provide the services of a midwife.

This Christmas season it is more important that we make room for Jesus in the midst of the holiday activities.

Ephes. 3:17a (NIV) "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith."
