Jed made his acting debut this morning as Joseph in our church's Christmas pageant. He looked oh-so-cute in his little bathrobe as he sat next to "Mary", who is also four. Our church has so many young kids, the shepherds & angels were probably an average age of four. One shepherd, our cousin Tim's little Becca, was sitting nicely up on stage until Carrie came to give Tim the camcorder. When Becca saw Mama, she was all done acting! Another shepherd left shortly after Becca, walking down the aisle towards his dad, peeling off his bathrobe as he went.
When it was time for the Wise Men to follow the star to the manger, the little girl playing our "star" stayed comfortably sitting in her chair next to the front pew, so our Wise Men (who all happened to be little girls - Chloe also made her acting debut today - as one of the "Wise Guys" as her father so graciously put it) made their way to the manger with no help of a guiding star. Even if the star was MIA, Chloe had a guiding Mom!
It seems to me that God must get much pleasure out of seeing His precious little ones re-enacting the story of His Son coming as a child.
