From the Mouths of Babes

Natalie has been learning how to use the computer keyboard.  She had me call out the spelling to certain words as she diligently punched in one letter at a time, while I was making dinner.

Dear Mom,

I hope you have a Merry Christmas Mom.

I have been making your present.

I am excited to give you your present

And I am excited for Christmas

Because I like presents and because

Jesus was born.

I am glad we have holidays.

My wish is that our cousins

could come back and be

here in Canada.

I  Love you

Merry Christmas

Love Natalie

When she was done, Papa printed it for her and she read it to her brothers who listened attentively. At the end, Koen remarked with a proud voice, "That is a lot of words!" It makes me smile how early boys begin to think that way, but I could also tell he was plain proud of her knowing how to type so many words.

It was a delight to see the SS Christmas program 

that the kids had worked at for several months. 

David's Dynasty was a musical drama, 

where shepherds talked about how the birth of a Savior was foretold many years ago.

When suddenly an angel, joined by more angels, announced the great news . . .

Saying, 

"Fear not, for , behold, I bring you good tiding of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."

I never tire of hearing this story from of the mouths of children . . .

reminding me of when I first heard.

Sometimes it's about the old generation telling the next,

but I love it when the young tell the older ones.
