They were both overjoyed as we put up the Christmas tree and decorated the house with Santa and Snowmen this week.
Emory: That’s Santa Claus! (Talking about a Santa that stands on the fireplace.)
Mommy: Yes, it is. What does Santa say?
Emory: Ho, Ho, Ho.
Mommy: Merry….
Emory (singing): ….had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb…
At the time, I thought it was quite humorous. After giving it some thought, my heart was touched at the realization of the truth behind it. Yes, Emory, Mary did have a little lamb, and his name is Jesus. That, my precious child, is the real meaning of Christmas.
What a great reminder from a two year old. May we all remember during the hustle bustle of this time of year, that the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of our Savior.
Luke 1:30-32
An angel appeared to Mary and said, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
