Away in a Manager

Away in a manger
no crib for a bed
the little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
looked down where he lay
the little Lord Jesus
asleep on the hay

Tonight was the annual Christmas program at our church. Carter was Joseph in the manger scene and Austin read a passage from Luke focusing on the Christmas story. Aaron and I were proud of both of the boys as they share their love and understanding of Jesus and what our lives are because of Him. We were blessed to have my parents join us for the singing of carols and sharing our church's celebration of the children's Christmas service.

As we are in the process of preparing all the commercial and traditional aspects of Christmas, it's important to remember the real reason we celebrate - the birth of our Lord and Savior! May we always keep that at the forefront of what we do.
