Deep Spiritual Musings















Amidst all the hype, consumerism, chocolate, somewhere there is a search for the true meaning of Christmas....
Our girls are hearing the Christmas story in bits and bobs and trying to make sense of it all. Ailsa and Heather were shampooing Mary and Joseph in the bath and Ailsa said "follow me Joseph, I know the way to Bethlehem, I've got the map."
Then during evening prayers thinking about what to do for Jesus on his birthday - Ailsa said - "I know, lets get Jesus a soother" (dummy for the non-Canadians). Here's some pics of them partaking in the Dutch celebration of St Nicholas' day eating lots of chocs courtesy of Belgian chocolate purveyors B+B.

Blog might be the greatest thing ever invented, because I get to see people opening and enjoying my stuff to them. Thanks so much for posting that!

Love the stories Sharon. We saw "The Nativity" last night with Mom and Dad.... there were a lot of questions from babies and the birthing process to killings and gift giving to confessions and why we do that. I never did so much explaining in my life in such a short time! It was a beautiful movie though...
