OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES!

Shug and PopPop take a look at this! "Who are these people, Jack?" Mommy asked.

"They're humans." he said.

Jack knows who's in the manger. He hollers it out. BABY JESUS.

He's not ashamed. His excited hands show it!

He knows Jesus came down for him. "ME." Jack points to himself.

So he can play with Him. Jesus meets Jack right where he is.

Later Daddy came in the room and asked Jack what he was doing.

"I'm playing with God," was his response. Hmmm...beginning triune God thoughts!

 Yes....out of the mouth of babes!

NATIVITY SCENES: REVISITED

The elegant nativity in the hallway of the fellowship area is a constant reminder of the "reason for the season." The display never changes but it has lots of "lookers" enjoying its beauty.

Turn the corner and head to the children's area and another eye catching nativity appears. A display of change. A nativity that has yet to be the same any time I have passed it. It provides joy every time I pass it .

Today, the sheep appeared for the first time and one of the wise men has given up tumbling and appears to be talking to and angel. Another wise man is either napping or "lost" the battle. Regardless, the rearrangement reminds me that children are enjoying the nativity in their own, using their hands as part of the experience. Such a thought warms my heart and makes me smile!
