and why did God chose <br />the manger for the seat <br />of his birth and Mary his <br />physical mother and <br />Joseph the carpenter? <br /> <br />he chose the place of the <br />poor, the innocent face of <br />the unsophisticated woman, <br />the callous hands of the <br />simple carpenter in the <br />small town of nowhere, <br /> <br />he chose simplicity and <br />poverty, he never chose <br />us, our place, our time, <br /> <br />because he may not have <br />liked it at all. Too rich, <br />too arrogant, too shiny, <br />and so dirty.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-why-did-he-choose-the-manger-and-mary-and-joseph/
