Although people talk about children forgetting the true meaning of Christmas, I think children help us remember what's really important about this season.
This year Schmillian helped me display the nativity sets I've collected over the years. As we set one up, I told the story of Jesus' birth.
A little later Schmillian took my hand and brought me back to a scene we had set up...with a few changes as all the figures crowded into the stable area, because "They all want to see Jesus, Mumsy!"
She is right. Those wise men of long ago showed us the importance of seeking and finding the Savior. May we all do so with the zeal of a child!
That is so cute! I haven't gotten the nerve to get a good nativity yet... I've got so much "help" to arrange the simple, kid-friendly ones I have! =)
