It's Christmas eve, and today we made mud men. There's no snow outside, so we used what we had! Sand, clay and sticks. We had great fun getting all muddy & dirty!
Some may want to sanitize the Christmas story, and wrap up Baby Jesus in the manger with a red bow. Instead, we invite you to reflect on the true meaning of Christ's mission to earth - to save us from sin & to give us a new identity!
We pray that during this year, you will have a muddy Christmas.
- Remember how God got His hands muddy when He made us
- Remember that we are dirt, yet precious to God
- Recount the times He pulled us out of problem pits
- Retell how great God's love is that He loves us no matter how messy we are
- Rethink that sooner than we realize, Jesus will return to take us to be with Him
