A Humble Nativity…

nativity sceneOver the weekend, Ken and I really spruced up our home for Christmas. He put up white Christmas lights on the eaves of our house, and I set out a few pine-scented candles and poinsettias around the living room. Last night we arranged our Nativity scene on the fireplace mantel (that’s Daddy’s painting hanging above the mantel). As we moved the figurines this way and that, I tried hard to imagine what the first Nativity actually looked and felt like (growing up on a Maryland farm, I’m familiar with wooden mangers that held hay for our horses). I’m amazed that from His first moments on earth to His last, the life of Jesus reflected simplicity, humility, and lowliness of heart – even in His birth, Jesus was reaching out to identify with us in our weakness; what a Savior! Oh, during this beautiful Advent season may our lives reflect His simplicity and lowliness of heart. That’s my prayer for Ken and me… and my prayer for you this week, too.
