Preschool Angel

Hubby and I feel so blessed to have been able to see two of Miss W's Christmas Programs. Miss W does not realize it is a special event. She is just excited G'pa & G'ma come see her & her brother.

Monday after 'pre-treatment' we drove back to the church for the MWF afternoon group Preschool Christmas Program. (I wonder if Mrs. Sue & staff had 4 programs????)

Our church had a fair trade sale of items earlier this month. I bought a wooden nativity set to give to Miss W and Mcbe so they could play, re-enact, make-up, whatever using the 10 pieces. The set included a cow, donkey & a sheep. The people included Mary, an angel, a shepherd, 3 kings, and the Baby in a manger.  After the Sunday School program, I gave the set to Miss W and asked it she knew what it represented and could tell the story?

SHE COULD TELL THE STORY! The angel appeared to Mary and said to not be afraid. She was going to have a baby. Then Mary rode the donkey, but since there was no Joseph (?) the shepherd took his place. They arrived, but there was no room, so they went to the stable where the cow was resting. Mary had the Baby. (It was already in a manger.) Then the angel appeared to the shepherd in the field with his sheep. She told him not to be afraid. The shepherd and his sheep made their way to the stable. Then the angel was in the sky (she held a star in her hands) and guided the Three Kings to the stable, where they gave their gifts to the Baby. The Wisemen rode the donkey because there were no camels in the set. [The Nativity set came from Sri Lanka.]

Needless to say, I was impressed. The other adults were talking and did not hear our re-enactment. (I was told my speaking parts for each character.) Now, I know why she knew the story so well. My heart swells with pride and joy. The teacher in me is really impressed and the G'ma in me is over-joyed.
