MANGER

During the Christmas season, we often see little decorative villages that depict a quaint, small-town scene of Christmastime. Recently, I was in a home that had one. It was a beautiful little town with snow covered houses decorated for Christmas. In the middle of the “town” was a large creche with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus inside. It was huge compared to the tiny village!

It helped me see that the focus of the little village was Jesus and His birth. You couldn’t look at the village without seeing the manger scene.

I know that many of us strive to live with Christ at the center of our lives. So during this Christmas season, may we remember that, as Christians, Jesus is the biggest part of our lives!
