Creche

Thanks for expanding my vocab!  A creche (with a little thingy over the first e) can be a word for: Nativity scene: a three-dimensional representation of the scene at the birth of Jesus Christ.

Here are my daughter and her aunt/God-mom setting up the nativity set :) It's the same style that she will have when she's all grown up!  Last year was baby Jesus...wonder who'll come first now...Mary or Joseph?

I like what you said Mom about the spiritual world!  What a super lovely thought.  I guess I'd never really pictured an angel being right here but on another dimension.

It absolutely IS good "to look for it, to consider what the words say and look at how just about everything in the Bible can be interpreted and applied to our specific lives".  Which reminds me of when I was scribbling out Christmas cards and my husband wandered by and I excitedly showed him the verse that I'd picked to write on the cards and then he asked me what I thought the verse meant.  .  .  .  .
     And I totally stumbled over that question!
How silly but it took me a while to gather my thoughts and to try and explain even though I'd spent a good half hour picking it out and had already written it thirty times and mulled it over for hours while doing all that.
