Maggie is loving Christmas time. Talks about it day and night. One of her favorite things is Christmas music. Loves songs about santa, reindeer, and baby Jesus.At night if she gets ready for bed without a fight...we will sing her a couple of songs. Last night she requested "Manger"
So I started singing to her:
Away in a manger no crib for His bed
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
the stars in the heaven looked down where He lay
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
the stars in the heaven looked down where He lay
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
at this point she started rubbing her eyes and sniffling....I finished the verse and then asked her what was wrong. "nuffing" she says "can you sing manger again?"
So I sang it again. By the time I was finished she was sobbing.
"are you okay honey?"
yeah.
"do you love baby Jesus?"
yeah. I love Jesus.
This morning while I was getting ready for the day, I could hear her singing "away in a manger." When I went down to check on her she was holding the manger from our nativity and singing to baby Jesus. Very tender.
I love Christmas. I love my Savior. I love that a 3 year old can remind me of that. I love that she loves Him too.
