So underneath a table in the kitchen I noticed a line of all the nativity refrigerator magnets on the long support piece. Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, wise men, donkey. On the frig remained the empty barn.
While the adults were talking after dinner, Q had played out the story of Christmas. She had been arranging at the frig for most of the conversation, and we had moved back into the living room. But what we hadn’t caught right away, was a part of the story that had impacted her. The escape to Egypt. They were on the “road”. The rescue of baby Jesus from the bad king. Rescue. Hope.
Never underestimate what 3 yr olds are receiving through the Christmas story. Their little hearts are tender, receptive, compassionate. Childlike. Don’t miss it.
Last night we found out that one of our previous ranch teens was almost killed in an accident. She’s in ICU. Rescue. Hope.
Today I’m focusing on that part of her story. Christmas isn’t over. The whole reason God came as a baby was for our rescue. Hope. Don’t miss it.
Merry Christmas from Stormhaven♥️🙌🏻🐴
