Three Wise Women

 

What would have happened if the three wise men had been three wise women?

They would have . . .

  • asked for directions
  • arrived on time
  • helped deliver the baby
  • cleaned the stable
  • brought practical gifts
  • made a casserole.

And what would they have said as they left the manger?

  • “Have you heard that Joseph hasn’t got a job at the moment?”
  • “That donkey they’re riding has seen better days.”
  • “That baby doesn’t look anything like Joseph.”
  • “Want to bet on how long it will take before you get your casserole dish back?”
  • “Did you notice the drummer boy?  He can beat my drum any time.”
  • “Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that dress?”
