Nativity
At midnight I woke up in my bedroom. I went to get a drink,
suddenly…..I heard a calm voice. Slowly I turned around. A tall man all in
white was standing in front of me. I was full of fear, until the man said”, god
is with you”. The man told me that his name was Gabriel. Gabriel whispered that
I was going to have a baby. Then I fell to the ground and a single tear fell
down my cheek.
After four months I told Joseph. He must have been shocked
with horror. I thought Joseph would believe me when I told him what angel
Gabriel had said. Joseph just looked away and said “I loved you!” I felt
scared, unloved and a little bit
selfish.
Joseph was going to take me to Bethlehem to have a baby. It
was tiring and hard. The sun had disappeared in the rolling hills. Joseph made
two beds to sleep on. At midnight joseph had the same dream about Gabriel.
When we got to Bethlehem I felt unloved, we were turned away
from every inn in Bethlehem. Until we found an empty stable.
The time had
come. I was going to have the baby……When Jesus was born it was the best thing
that had happened to me since I had met Joseph. Suddenly we saw a star shining
high in the sky. Me and Joseph were startled to find three magi bursting into
the barn. They offered gold, frankincense and Mir. Then knelt down and bowed to
Jesus. He really was the son of god.
