Nativity and handbells . . .
We had a wonderful evening last night.
I was tremendously impressed by the children's Nativity. They did a great job of presenting the gospel story of the birth of Jesus. They were well behaved and right on cue.
Then we came indoors for the handbells. The N.O.R.C.E. handbell choir presented four songs for our pleasure and inspiration. We actually had quite the packed house, with a number of visitors.
My epiphany for the day came from one of the little girls who was in the nativity. As she and I were coming back around from the Youth house to the sanctuary, she kept saying over and over, "My daddy is here tonight!!" Her father has not attended our church before, and you could sense the joy in this little girl's heart that her father showed up, and brought his video camera. I hope she has that joy much more in the coming years.

Yea, her dad and I had a conversation about the wisdom of giving the wisemen staffs that looked like baseball bats with a knob on the end. It looked like there may have been other uses for those in a 10 year old boys mind...grin
