From The Word

  • Matthew 18:2-5
    "And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."

Cute manger scenes! My mother-in-law gave me her old one that they used to use every year and it looks a lot like the one my mom uses! So it feels homey :)

After I gave my daughter the one that I had bought in 1958, I bought a new one several years ago. We have it on the table in our foyer with a light in the manger. My daughter's children really enjoy arranging the old one. One of my daughters-in-law insists that the baby Jesus should not go in the manger until Christmas Eve.

We also have two. One is from Fisher Price. We have it on a low table for the kids to play with. If you press the button on top of the stable it lights up and plays Away in a Manger. While this has always been a favorite feature, our newly adopted 8-year-old can't resist playing it EVERY time he passes by. One day someone put the batteries in backwards so we had a sanity reprieve "away FROM the manger." :P

Alas! I don’t have a manger scene, but I’ll tell you where I like to see them: on people’s front lawns, lit up at night. There are two just down the street from the new Reformed Baptist Church that I am attending in Longview, and I love to drive past them and look . . .
The most riveting display that I have ever seen, however, was this: Three simple pieces, lit up with a flood light from the front. The front piece: a wooden manger, with straw only. Behind it, a cross, empty. Behind it, a crown on top of a post.
“Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy Heavenly crown when Thou camest to earth for me . . .”
