I wonder if the innkeeper was grumpy. I wonder if he said, "Enough! All these people, every bed full -- enough already." He couldn't have known that his little bit of generosity -- "I can squeeze you in by the manger" -- would make room for a miracle.
I am tempted to be grumpy. I am tempted to say "Enough!" But I am going to offer up my hospitality challenges in memory of that miracle, recalling that you never know what might happen when you say "Yes!" instead of "Enough!"
Wishing you a blessed Christmas Eve, and abundant grace as you make room.
