Friday Favorites

Christmas in the Manger by Nola Buck and Felicia Bond is one of our favorite Christmas books.

The words are simple, but the meaning is life changing.

Enjoy.....

I am the star that shines in the east,
I light the stable for man and beast.

I am the donkey, soft and gray,
I carried His mother from far away.

I am the ram, with my curly horn
I guard the stall where the child is born.

I am the ox, strong as steel
before the only son I kneel.

We are the shepherds who watch the sheep,
tonight a holy watch we keep.

We are the wise men, gifts we bring
for baby Jesus, our newborn king.

I am Mary, the mother mild,
how I love my tiny child.

I am the baby asleep in the hay,
and I am the reason for Christmas Day.


We also really like Sheila Rae's Peppermint Stick by Kevin Henkes....different words, different message....still very important...especially for my Sheila Rae and Louise:)
