[QUOTE="Mayflower1, post: 75619259, member: 132617"] Lorena was taking in a much deserved mug of hot cocoa and hit Peter on the shoulder. "Two words. Donkey's bottom." She said. Everyone laughed. She looked over at the stable, her eyes moist. "Not to steal the kids' spotlight, but I know the play is a bit different this year. So I guess I remember how it goes." She held the Bible in her hand and quoted by memory. [B][URL='http://www.christianity.com/bible/bible.php?ver=niv&q=luke+2%3a8-21']Luke 2:8-21[/URL] ESV[/B] And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is [URL='https://www.christianity.com/jesus/']Christ[/URL] the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.

The improv was much appreciated with the circumstances. Everyone started lighting candles as the lights were turned down softly. "Today....I treasure baby Jesus in my heart in a way I haven't for many years. Without this virgin birth...pure spotless lamb coming into our world to die for us, we would have no hope or reason to live..." Everyone was choking up and Lorena tried to play it tough continuing. "Dont take for granted your life...your family, friends, and blessings...life will throw many challenges, BUT GOD. We can be like Mary and Joseph by doing what God wants us to do. We can be like the shepherds and Wise Men by following Jesus Christ. We can be like the angels by telling others the real story of Christmas. And we can be like Jesus by following His example! It doesnt matter who you are or what you have done in your life. God loves you." ----------- First it was Thomas. He fell down on his knees with a repentant longing heart. Then little Tim fell down too. And pretty soon a small group of people were on their knees, giving their lives to Christ. [/QUOTE]
