Thank you for sharing your heart and this beautiful depiction of the Christmas story. What it did for me was to open my eyes again to the humanity and humility of it all. I also appreciate your personal comments and insights. They challenge me to be real with God about my pain and my feelings of inadequacy but most importantly to look for the “manger” and God’s presence where things don’t seem to fit or be ideal. Thanks!

My son just sold his XBOX to buy an electric guitar. I think that the fact that we let him have it, and would not let him become addicted to it, made the process much less painful for everyone. We kept it on the low-down. It ended up being just a phase, and I am so thankful for that.

What you wrote about is true learning and joy. You defined the ‘space for reflection’ on what was observed and noted that taking TIME to do something such as an observation/analysis is crucial. I also grew up in a family/home like this and it helped me to appreciate so much more than what could ever be merely seen on a TV screen. Parents need to be involved and create the time and space for learning so teachers can do their job and extend on this.
