Tonight we had a surprise delivered by our favorite postman. It was a very mangled, smashed up box. We were thrilled to to find a beautiful Nativity set that Grammy had sent us from Germnay that was completely without damage inside. The set comes from an Evangelical Mission in Poland. The sisters there make the Nativities to raise funds for the poor, and orphaned. The pieces are beautful, very detailed hand-made figures. Inside the baby's filling has been placed the Bible verse John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him will have everlasting life." The facial expressions represent the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) Peace, Patience, Self-Control, Love, Meekness, Joy, Kindness, Goodness, & Faithfulness. The characters are posable and completely kid-friendly. The kids love having something so special that is OK to touch. It will be a favorite tradition for our family to display such a beautiful herloom gift. It is a great token for us to remember the most wonderful story ever in history, when God sent His precious Son, Jesus to this earth to save us. Thanks Grammy!!!
