Last night we went to my parents' house for the Shepherd's Story. This is a live nativity that my dad wrote 6 or 7 years ago. Last night we had 12 performers in the production and 2 asleep in the house.
The story tells about Mary, Joseph and Jesus from a shepherd's point of view. It is my favorite thing to do at Christmastime. This makes the Christmas season real for me. We dress in costume and act the story that is recorded on a CD. We tell the story of Jesus' birth and why he came to earth to die for all of us so we could spend an eternity in Heaven with HIM.
We had a special guest last night as well, Santa came. My dad wrote a story of Santa being a shepherd boy that went into Bethlehem to see Jesus as a baby and grew up hearing about all of his miracles and teachings that Jesus did. Also, it explained why Santa wears the colors that he does. Red for the blood that Jesus shed for us on the cross. White for the way Jesus cleans us when we accept Him. The warm costume, the warmth that we feel when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Giving of gifts represents the gift that God gave the world in His only son to save us.
Remember that Jesus is the Reason for this Christmas Season!
