This is one of our most popular Christmas cards; it features a lovely verse by Rita S. Beer. I don't know Rita - but I'd bet that she's a horse/donkey person based on one line in this poem: "I gladly carried Mary through the chaos of the crowd."
Only someone who's worked with equines would know to note how significant it is that the donkey carried Mary safely through what must have been a very scary situation. Consider what it would be like now, if we were all required to travel somewhere far away to pay our taxes in person. Considering all the grumbling that is heard around tax time - the IRS is probably pretty wise to allow us to do it by mail!
Just a little donkey,
but on my back I bore
The one and only Savior
the world was waiting for.
Just a little donkey,
but I was strong and proud-
I gladly carried Mary
through the chaos of the crowd.
I brought her to a stable
where she made a tiny bed...
A place for Baby Jesus
to lay His little head.
I pray the world remembers
that special Christmas night
when just a little donkey
carried Heaven's Precious Light.
