We had a fabulous time a few weekends ago, remembering Christ’s birth through acting out the nativity story with the students from school. Thank you for praying, and please continue to pray with us that many were touched and realized the true miracle of Christmas.
The heavenly host, appearing to the shepherds (and animals):
The Hallelujah Chorus, worshipping the newborn King:
The star that led the wise men:
Carpenter Joseph (aka Eric) worked really hard on this star this last week and I am really impressed with how it turned out 
Wise Guys Men:
Shepherdesses:
It is so exciting to me that this, Noa’s third Christmas, is probably the first year she will begin to understand that Christmas is about Jesus’ birth. We have loved playing with Nativity sets and reading books, and talking all about Baby Jesus. Last week, when looking at gifts under a tree she said to my sister, “Baby Jesus, present. Died on the cross.” It’s been so exciting to see her make the connection between the Baby in the manger, and the Man on the cross. May the Holy Spirit continue to make the story of salvation real in her heart.
She loved watching the Nativity, her favorite part being when the “Angels say Ha-ye-yu-ya!!!” She came up right away after it to check out the baby Mama was holding and realized it was one of hers! (Hope that wasn’t too confusing to her!)
Merry Christmas!!
