THE CRIPPLED LAMB
The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado is a precious Christmas story with a religious theme. It is written from the perspective of the animals in the stable, and what they witnessed on that first Christmas eve.
The main character is a crippled lamb named Josh. He is with a flock of sheep, but is having a difficult time keeping up with the others because of his crippled leg.
So the shepherd takes Josh to a stable to rest while the shepherds and the other sheep go on their way. This makes Josh sad, and he feels left out.
Fortunately Josh's sweet friend Abigail the cow is in the barn, and she offers him comfort.
That evening, an amazing thing happened in the stable. The Saviour was born! Josh and Abigail were there to witness it all firsthand. If Josh's leg hadn't been crippled, he would have been in the fields and would have missed this beautiful moment. Now he knows why he was a crippled lamb.
