You have told this story very well, a little different from the Bible version, yet sharing the most important truth about that night - that Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind was born, to fulfill God's plan.

Hello Rikki.

This is a well thought out and conceived paraphrase of the events surrounding the birth of Christ. This is an outstanding children's story. You have put the events into perspective and order of occurrence. This is really well done.

Hi Rikki66,

I felt like I was there on that sacred night as your story unfolded. A very believable retelling of the greatest story ever told, the birth if Christ, the Son of God.

Your descriptions of life in those early times felt accurate and true to life. The scurrying by the inn keepers family to provide a birthplace for the approaching travelers felt authentic. The story of the shepherds coming to worship this babe felt real too.

Enjoyed your thoughts of that most sacred night.

Sounds like you've got it all down to a science, Rikki, from what I know. Now we have someone to look over us and try to keep up on the straight and narrow; although, with me, that can be a chore, even for Jesus. LOL. Thanks for sharing!

This was a creative idea and interesting story that included a detailed account of the nativity. You story would be much easier to read if you followed standard writing procedures when it comes to using paragraphs and writing dialogue. I chose only one sentence you may wish to look at.

"I sorrow that I have only a stable to offer." You may want to say,
"I'm sorry that I have only.....

Keep writing. You're very creative.

This is an interesting view. I can see it. The only problem I have is you need to follow standard writing forms.

Ary expected that by sunset or sooner the inn would be full. (You can omit 'that' it's an extra word)

Joseph and his espoused Mary, and their servants had been on the road five days they expected to arrive in Bethelem this evening unless Mary tired too quickly in the heat of the day. (One heck of a run-on sentence. Also Bethlehem)

As it neared time for the birth of the child she had had less and less

energy in the heat. (Not sure why the space)

he closer they got to the city the more traffic they encountered, there seem to be as many leaving as arriving. Joseph called to his steward, Levi, " See if you can find us shelter for the night."
"Yes, master", as he departed.
Joseph went to Mary, riding on a donkey, as they moved slowly, "I fear we may not find good shelter this night."
"If it is so it is so, the Lord will provide."
"Ever the believer." (spaces needed between dialogues)

Very nice rendition of the Holy birth of Christ our Lord. You took some poetic license that did not outshine the true history of that blessed night. Some artwork of the Nativity would have been nice.

    Thank you, some stories need to be retold, example, "The Shop Around the Corner----In The Good Old Summer Time----You've Got Mail. The same basic story told decades apart.
