AWAY IN A MANGER

When one’s  5 year old grandson sets  up a manger & re-sets it again and again & again, it’s a great way to pass on the true meaning of Christmas!!

He knew the one in the manger was baby Jesus. When I tried to tell him that Joseph was Jesus' Daddy---he said, "NO"---"God is His Daddy!"

How right he is!!

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES: AN ADDENDUM

Identifying incorrectly the one whose birthday Christmas was as... "Me," Jack, with Mommy's finger pointing to the manger hint---

Jack replied. "Baby God!"

He's right; it was the Lord who laid down his sweet head.

Then he went out to the porch to swing in the mountain air and sang over and over to his fuzzy puppies...

he was a jolly happy dude

.....the only 2 lines of Frosty the Snowman that he knew...with his own "dude" substitution.

My prayer is that by whatever name Jack calls Him; baby Jesus, Lord Jesus or baby God, He will be near, close by forever and  "bless all the dear children in His tender care"
