Hope you all had a great Christmas. I really want to keep this blog going next year and I thank you for visiting. A friend of mine painted this Nativity scene and when I looked at Mary the first thing that came to my mind was that she looked hopeless and scared. I can relate to her, first child, away from family, looking at the baby and thinking "Will I be able to take care of this baby?" Joseph, on the other hand, looks so happy, like my husband did when he first laid eyes on our children. How beautiful it is to think that one child changed the world and gave us hope of eternal life with Him, a lesson of faith, hope and love. My best wishes for a Happy New Year!"God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only son, so that everyone who has faith in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

What a sweet hand-painted Nativity! How interesting that she painted her expression that way...I'm sure there was a little truth in that. I know I was scared with my firstborn, and even more so for Mary, who had some knowledge that He was the Son of God.
Thank you for your sweet comment today, dear Cris! It truly blessed me!
A wonderful 2008 to you and your family!
Dear Cris..

Cris, Lovely!!
Happy new year to you and yours, too. I love your sweet hand-painted Nativity!
kisses
Your nativity is so sweet and Mary's expression could very well be a true depiction of how she felt, knowing who her baby was :)
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family dear Cris, and that 2008 will be filled with moments to cherish.
