She had at least 20 sets.
I love nativities. They can be ornate or simple. Big or small. Tiny or tall. They can be life sized or pocket sized.
But each carries an important message.
What is the message?
It is intertwined with love, joy, promises kept, family, trust, and giving.
It is the message of Jesus' birth.
We may not know the exact day, but it is a day we set aside to remember the day Jesus' was born.
You would think that a someone like him would be born in a palace.
Oh no.
In a stable. A place with animals.
A bit more privacy than an inn, yes.
Mary and her family...husband, mother, father, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, all celebrating the birth of a child.
Because God wanted to teach us something great, he made it happen in a unlikely place.
That is what Christmas is about.
So today, read the Christmas story. Talk about it with your family and see what they would like to do to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
