My little niece, Destiny, gets to be an angel in the Christmas play at our church. This is very exciting because she gets to wear a very beautiful satin and lace dress, a pair of wings and a tinsel halo. Little 6-year old girls -- most of them I know, anyhow, are really into this. Destiny is into it in a really big way because she is extremely fond of nativity scenes-- any of them, large, small, two and three dimensional, she loves them. She first exclaims, "Look! The Baby Jeeeesuss!!!!" She loves babies. Now Destiny gets to be a real part of this nativity scene, and there is nothing like it. To see God in such approachable form is the bomb! Tonight she went from carrying around a palm-sized manger with the Holy Family enclosed, to finding a large ceramic Nativity in the foyer of our church (one that she could get right up close and personal to, by design), to actually being IN and part of it-- wow. I am so grateful for these experiences. I am so grateful for each and every person who has gone way out of the way to put this together.
