I needed a little something to cheer me up tonight. So I broke out the glue gun, and Christopher and I had a little advent fun. We made this manger scene out of stuff we had around the house. We bought nothing, and will need nothing more than another glue stick before we finish. We made the stable, manger bed, and angel. Later this weekend we'll make the Mary, Joseph and Baby figures (and maybe a camel). We're trying to keep it as biblically accurate as possible. Christopher made a scroll on the top that quotes Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased." in beautiful lettering. He traced the animals out of felt- so proud of his sketching of late. We won't decorate with much more than this this Christmas. Hopefully, this creation will remind us for years to come of the true meaning of this advent season. I want it also to remind us of His second coming, so that we will prepare ourselves, like a bride for her wedding day, to be ready for our JESUS.
Emmanuel- God is with us!!!
