...from the lips of a child

Today in Sunday school, we talked about how the wise men worshipped Jesus and ways we can worship Him too.  We discussed how telling others about God is one way we worship Him, so for our craft we made Christmas cards for the kids to give to their friends/neighbors to tell them about Christ.  Most of the children drew Mary, Joseph, and Jesus on their cards, but one little girl did something different.  On the front of her card, Lilly drew a hill with three crosses on it.  I asked her what she had drawn, and she replied, "The cross, because that's why Jesus was born."  She then asked for help to write something on the back..."Jesus came as a baby to die for our sins."  This precious 5-year-old reminded me of the truth that we so often forget - that the birth of Christ is not the end of the story - and for that, I am most thankful.
