Behind door eleven you will find a chocolate donkey, or you would have if there had been a donkey to find. Most people don’t realize that there is no donkey mentioned in the Bible. If there had been it is possible that no one would be riding. It would carry all their baggage.
There is nothing wrong with having a donkey included in your nativity scene. It is not a theologically important point. Just don’t expect one behind door eleven. There is also a lot of discussion about what Jesus was laid down in and where he was actually born. The important point is that He was born at just the right time.
God has a sense of timing that is never off. Accept it even if it is like the donkey and you can’t see it.
Merry Christmas.
