GHOST OF THE PAST

Do you remember this place, Scrooge?

Of course, Marley. This is my hometown, as it used to be.

What do you remember about it?

It was a great place. Strangers could walk in and find themselves home.

How is it now?

There won’t be place anywhere for anyone.

Why? I am sure there are many decent folks there still.

Oh, there are folks, but everyone is too wrapped up in themselves and their own that they won’t give you the time of the day.

What happened?

Progress happened. Competition happened. Its like a ghost town now.

Don’t insult us. We are better!

Better now maybe, now that you are one. Betcha that you would be like all of us. You left.

You are right. That’s why I’m here. To help you.

To change?

No, but to make room in the inn. Room for Him!
