What a joy to see little ones performing the birth of our King. Tradition has fallen by the wayside in too many ways--among them our children. I give thanks for those of you training up your children in the ways of our Holy Father. Merry Christmas!!
Looks and sounds like my house! I love the Christmas pageant pictures! I understand about having your heart ready. My Christmas happens every year at the Christmas Eve candlelight service. Everything stops to focus on the manger and I can worship. A very blessed Christmas to you and your family!
I'm a child of God, wife to my best friend, homeschooling mama to our three precious boys and baby girl, a lover of books and learning, of good food and growing things in the earth, of making things with my hands, singing and dancing.
