The "Magic" of the Manger

Praying the "magic" of the manger never grows dim in our hearts or in  yours!  

This was truly a magical moment for us this year and I felt so blessed to capture it on the camera.  We started our advent reading and the first reading was about how Jesus is the Light of the world.  In Homeschool Bible time we are studying the book of John and the kids made the connection to John 1:4 that we had memorized last month.  As we were singing a song I had the idea of throwing some Christmas lights into this basket and asking the kids to pretend that the true light of the world had just been born into this cradle/manger and they were the first to see and worship him. It was a "magical" moment for all of us!
