Last week my friend Melanie linked up a Christmas post to Project Inspire{d} that touched my heart. 

She talked about how much she had to do for Christmas, how her decor wasn’t really blog/magazine worthy, and then she shared this…

Plastic Nativity and the sweetest story

My old, plastic light-up nativity set may seem cheap to some,
but my kids absolutely love it. They spend time outside
carrying Baby Jesus around the yard, acting out
how they remember the Christmas story going down.

 

I don’t know about you.  But, having children “get” the Christmas story and act it out in their play is the best gift a parent could get for Christmas, other than having their child choose to make Jesus their forever friend.

Christmas is filled with imperfection. It’s in our imperfection that God reached down to show us that we were/are worthy of his perfect love.

Wherever you are on the Christmas spectrum… take a few moments to read Melanie’s post about what Christmas means to her.  I think you’ll be blessed.

 

To each of you who come and link up here each week… Thank YOU!!
May this Christmas be your most memorable, blessed, and JOYous Christmas ever!
Merry Christmas!!

It’s time for Project Inspire{d}!

I am so glad you’re here!

  8. Happy 2015 Diane! I completely missed this, but it made me so happy to come back and read it. Thank you so much for sharing my post, and I’m so glad it touched you. It was so much fun watching my kids hang out with “our Jesus guys”. Sadly, it’s time for them to go back into the attic. So thankful the real Jesus stays with us all year around! Blessings to you and yours 🙂

      I can only imagine how your heart swelled to watch your kids play “nativity.” Christmas seemed to come and go to quickly this year. Pretty soon we’ll be celebrating Easter. 🙂
