Fountain Green Nativity





We had our annual city nativity last night and tonight. Earl, Chansy, and I were lucky enough to be included in it last night. Chansy got to be baby Jesus. How wonderful an experience it is to look at that little baby laying in the manger and think of our Savior being born into the world! I kept thinking about Mary and wondering how much she knew of her baby son's future. What a testimony of love from both our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ himself! On the funny side, the donkey kept trying to knock over the panels in there with us and make an escape outside to the sheep pen. It was pretty cold but we can't complain because everyone else was outside in a blizzard. Chansy was able to have an electric blanket underneath the lamb pelt but it was still chilly. Yes, she cried off and on but she was angelic as well ( for the few lucky people who got to see her for those couple of minutes). We actually got to do this when Dally was 2 months old a couple of years ago. I think that it was the first year that the city did the nativity. How ironic is it that our 2 girls have been baby Jesus? (Don Despain here in town took the first picture, the others are
from my camera).
