December Note; Merry Christmas

Having trouble keeping up? December is a busy time.
Exams, Christmas shopping and hopefully some good food.
This time I'm sending you some advent bulletins.
Do you remember making them yourselves?
When I was teaching Grade 6 Sunday school I was a mean teacher
"My" kids were only allowed to draw pictures from what really was in the bible.
That meant no donkey,or innkeeper, or stable, or Christmas tree
the only animals were sheep and the baby could be drawn in a manger.
One boy wanted to draw an angel and we looked in the bible for a description.
His angel with 6 wings kind of looked like a butterfly.
This Christmas read the Christmas Story again with "adult" eyes
and wonder about what happened 2000 years ago
You can Find it in the beginning of the gospels of Matthew & Luke
Merry Christmas,
