A Child at Christmas

"We are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime." Laura Ingalls Wilder

Art and writing

High School Friends came to help out.

They helped with the art, then read stories to their little friends.



Little Friends read to the Big Friends.

The kindergartners love the extra attention. 



Kids.  They're like little time bombs of energy, and the slightest thing----a Christmas tree, an elf on a shelf, a string of twinkling lights-will cause them to explode with squeals of excitement.

For children, Christmas is a time when wishes are fulfilled and anything is possible. 

If we lay aside our cynicism and skepticism, we can learn a thing or two from the children.  Anything thing is possible....the Bible says so!

"For nothing is impossible with God."  Luke 1:37

Now, chances are, a fat man in red suit is not going to bring us our hearts' desires.  We may not even get everything on our wish list. It's been my experience that we don't always get what we ask for or even pray for, but often, if we open our hearts and humbly trust in His goodness, God gives us gifts that far exceed our wishes and expectations.

"All things are possible to him who believes."  Mark 9:23

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we as or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."  Ephesians 3:20-21
