After every snow fall, the snow plows are out there making room for the next one. If we don't make room, we'll be in big trouble. Already at Jesus’ birth, there was no room for him. Too often we have little or no room for God in our lives. And yet, Jesus tells us that in his “Father’s house are many rooms.” Our hospitable God makes room for us even when we don’t make room for him. That should cause us to pause, and then to open our hearts and lives to God and our neighbour.

Making room
