Go Tell It On The Mountain

Before I post about my Christmas, I thought I would brag a little bit on my little nephew, Barrett. He was Joseph in the Christmas play that the little kids put on at church Sunday night. His cousin, Rendi played Mary. We were worried that it would turn into a WWE (WWF?) cage match with the two of them brawling over baby Jesus.

Thankfully, all was calm and they both (and all of the kids) did beautifully.

Here's my little Joseph and Mary:

Adorable, right? Rendi wanted her little brother Rawlins (who just turned 1 yesterday) to be baby Jesus. Yeah, umm...no. You can use a baby doll.

Barrett's favorite song was Go Tell It on the Mountain and boy did he sing his little heart out. He had to get the word out that Jesus "Price" was born. We may need to work on his speech skills. Although the day he stops saying "I Lub You" might break my heart a little.

Seeing the birth of Christ through the eyes of children really is something special. I'm glad that I was able to be there to watch Barrett and Rendi and all of the other children sing and tell the story of the birth of Jesus.

And on a side note~ after the play was finished Rendi comes up to me and says "hey Sissy, where's Stacey? Why she not come with you?" Guess Rendi is so used to Stacey being with me when she sees me that she figures we come in a set, kinda like salt and pepper. You never see one without the other. I of course answered Rendi and told her that Stacey didn't like her and refused to watch her play. I kid.

See any children's programs over the holidays? Hope you did because they are something special to behold!

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. Mark 10:13-16
