If you read the previous post, you can see I had to have a talk with Tyler about the real meaning of Christmas. So the nativity scene is the best way to show a child about the birth of Jesus and why He had to come and save us. I must say Tyler had more fun putting this foam nativity scene together from scratch than listening to me but I pray the Holy Spirit is working in his heart so that one day Tyler will be able to call Christ His Savior. As for now, he knows Christmas is Jesus' birthday so our focus should be on Him. It would be alot easier if he wasn't getting loads of gifts from family and friends as well. Like I said, I'm praying for the work of the Holy Spirit and God's grace. I should have waited to put baby Jesus in the manger until Christmas. You live and learn.
Here's Mary, Baby Jesus and Joseph. Those wing like things are supposed to be capes but I had trouble getting them to adhere to the body. Who knew there were palm trees in Bethlehem? =)
When did Mary get a halo? It's funny how people reinterpret the Bible stories. Btw, thank you SL for the nativity scene. Tyler loved putting it together!
