As it is every year, I looked forward to putting out my collection of nativities.
If I have these, the tree, and a few other sentimental pieces out, I'm as decorated as I need to be.
Maybe it's hard for others to understand, but the feeling I get when I see each one of these nativities is very precious to me.
Nobody else helps with this part of the decorating, and I'm usually alone when it happens.
I take each one out of the box and unwrap it.
I remember picking it out myself, or I remember the person who gave it to me as I set each piece just so.
All the different pieces centered around one thing.
The Baby.
The Gift God sent for all of us.
Even in a world tired of Covid and everything that goes with it....
Even in a time of huge division and incivility in society....
The Baby can bring peace. That's the feeling I have when I put each of these nativities out. I feel the peace of the Savior of the world. I feel the love of a God who knows me and knows what my life is like
I wish that for you this Christmas.....that you have peace.
Such a diverse collection! I don’t think I’ve ever noticed the slender white one. It reminds me vaguely of beautiful dragonfly wings folded down. Fragile and practically iridescent! Lovely collection and lovely testimony!
