30December2017 Safari Pics

Old Land cruisers, khaki and camouflage, beautiful animals, binoculars and amazing surroundings.  Yesterday's safari was a real treat.  Why in the world had we waiting so long to do this?

25December2017 Oh! Hey Jesus!

I heard it from the other room.  #L was our living room, setting up the kids' nativity scene.  She's been setting it up multiple times per day since #D got it out of storage.  In fact, there may or may not have been some battles between the wise men and Star Wars action figures and an impromptu soccer match or two featuring shepherds versus a the barnyard animals.  So, I was about to walk in and fuss at her again when I heard it.  "Oh!  Hey Jesus!  Welcome to our house!"  It stopped me in my tracks.  Yes!  The six-year-old gets it.  That's exactly what Christmas is.  We celebrate the coming of the Emmanuel.  We welcome the Messiah to earth, into our lives.  

We say, Hey Jesus!  Welcome to our house! 

Merry Christmas yall!
