I want Baby Jesus!

Adeline has stolen my heart. She reminds me how blessed I am. She makes me think of things from a different perspective. Christmas eve night when heading home from fun at the conrads in Newberry. As she know that Meme and Papa have "2 houses" ... they live in "Neberry" and "the river". We earlier had talked about people stealing the baby Jesus' from nativity scenes. This was a general talk in the minivan while out delivering danishes to loved family and friends. So on our trip home she saw a nativity set and Baby Jesus was not there. She said where is baby Jesus. We were answering her and she said she wanted Baby Jesus. I told her those were pretend, but that she can have the real Baby Jesus. We had talked earlier about Jesus being in her heart and she now proceeded to talk about Jesus being in her stomach and back and other places. It was super cute. I have thought wouldn't it be a horrible life lived if you lived in such a manner that folks can tell you are the nativity set but you are missing Jesus. We need Jesus... it isn't about Church, it isn't about doing good, it isn't about looking good. It is about JESUS! Jesus is born to save us! He wants a personal relationship with us. The good news is you can be pretty messed up and He still wants to join us in the journey of being more like Him.
