Devotional Thoughts Births DECEMBER, 1953 Martha Gale Rackley Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bledsoe have another granddaughter. Martha Gale Rackley was born to Mrs. Evangeline Bledsoe Rackley on November 23, weighing 6 pounds, 14 1-2 ounces. Wanda Sue Gurganus Mr. and Mrs. Eulis Gurganus announce the birth of a daughter, Wanda Sue, born November 1, at Rocky Mount Sanatarium. Eulis is employed in the Dyehouse. December twenty-fifth is set a- side for the celebration of our “Master’s Birthday.” This day is called “Christmas”—a day of joy, peace, and happiness. Eor cen turies millions of people have kept an appointment with “Christ mas”. It is a pity' for anyone to miss this day, yet many let it come and go and never know its true meaning Many of us are like the Inn Keeper at Bethlehem. Our hearts and minds are so occupied with other matters until there is no room for Jesus in the inn of our hearts.^ No doubt if the IiuT Keeper would have Jcnown that the Saviour of the world was about to be born, he would have made room for Him in the Inn, The Inn Keeper turned Mary and Joseph away, not because he had any ill will against them, but because he was so busy with other people and he had no pa tience to look at any more. Is it not true that many of us ex clude Christ from the inn of our hearts? Not that we have any ill will against Him., but our thoughts and feelings are so oc cupied with other matters that we do not find a place for Him in our hearts. Then what happens? We miss the real “Christmas”. We miss t receiving the supreme gift for the enrichment of our souls; the gift which will lift us up and cause our hearts to overflow with joy, peace and happiness. As we celebrate our “.daster’s Birthday”, may our hearts’ door be open. • Then the spirit of Christ will have.freedom zo abide ’with in, which will enable us to “Fear Not”, and to know that God wants us to hav! a jeal “Christmas”.
