We want to wish everyone a very Merry and blessed Christmas from the Provenzano household. We pray that you all enjoy the season and remember our Savior who was born so that He may die for us sins, giving us the hope of eternal life in heaven. If you are travelling, please travel safe...enjoy your time with family and friends. May God richly bless you this season and this coming year.
A funny little story about the season. Elizabeth LOVES baby Jesus and baby Moses. They are by far her favorite parts to read in the Bible. Well, she continues to hear songs on the radio and asks, "Mom, they are singing about baby Jesus, right?" "Yes, Elizabeth, they are." "Mom, baby Jesus isn't an adult, he is a baby." We had to work on the fact that BABY Jesus didn't die on the cross for us, that Jesus grew into an adult and than died on the cross. Well, now she is still convinced that Jesus is a baby right now. Try rationalizing with a three year the concept that we just are remembering when Jesus was born during this time of year, that He is actually in heaven waiting for us to meet him someday. She is convinced that He is in the stable right now. It didn't help that at church they had a manger scene in their program with a real baby playing the baby Jesus. She was CONVINCED without a doubt that it was him! (even though it was really the baby brother of one of her Sunday school friends.) We had soup supper after the program and she was in absolute AWE because we sat with the family and she proceeded to say, "MOM, look we get to sit by baby Jesus!" Simple minds and simple faith...faith that I guess we all need to have.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
