Devotional
In our story, the shepherds could have stayed in the fields with their sheep. It would have been more comfortable and safer to stay where they were. But instead, they went to see Jesus. They shared their story with Jesus' parents. Jesus' parents had just had a hard day. The shepherds would have really cheered them up. The shepherds also talked to other people. Everyone was amazed. God had given the shepherds a story to share, and they shared it. We can learn from that. Sometimes God gives us a story to share. We can't just keep it to ourselves. We need to help people with our story. So let's practice sharing stories that can help people.
