The Nativity

Wednesday, November 28, 2007
Every year I debate about putting out the nativity I brought home from my mission in Chile. It really can't be replaced if something happened to it and I would be so upset if one of the pieces broke. But it makes me sad not to have it out. I usually just get it out and look at it and then put it away. I thought maybe if I talk to Isabelle about it, stressing it is very special and we don't touch it maybe it would be okay. I had her watch me as I was putting it out and told her about each piece. She was very careful to watch and didn't even try to touch it. When I got out the Baby Jesus she looked at it and started to sing "I Am A Child of God." It was such a sweet little moment. I am so glad I decided to get it out with her!
