WE ALL BELONG WITH JESUS
Joshua is a little lamb with a game leg. He has trouble keeping up with the rest of the flock and is often mocked by his fellow sheep. Even the shepherd tells Joshua to remain behind while he leads the other sheep to greener pastures.Abigail, a wise and gentle cow, reminds Joshua that there is always a place for those who are different. She accepts Joshua without question and the two friends seek shelter in an old manger.Joshua and Abigail meet the Holy Family and Mary introduces her Son as the Gift and the Answer. It is through the Infant Jesus that Joshua realizes that Abigail was right all along -- he really DID have a place where he really belonged. Had he been able to join the flock, he would never have shared the stable with the Holy Family. It is to Max Lucado and his daughters' credit that the story does not end with the predictable healing of Joshua's game leg. Instead, Joshua is loved, respected and truly cherished because in feeling he had to little to give, he really gave a lot. He gave to Baby Jesus.I really love this book.
