We had our Sunday school Christmas program a couple weekends ago, and the kids did such a great job. Grace does not like being on the stage, but we practiced her song over and over and with the help of her teacher and a large poinsettia, she was able to pull it off.
Max had a long, wordy verse to memorize and he was really nervous about it. But he practiced and practiced and practiced…and recited it flawlessly.
And Claire managed to stay composed when a certain audience member kept yelling “Claire Bear!”.
It was a great day, remembering the real reason for the season: that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”.
