The story of the manger.

"Granny can I sleep under this tree?"
"No Wilbur you will be all Grumpy tomorrow if you stare at those lights all night"
"Well Granny will you tell me the story of the Manger again?"
Oh dear, Wilbur you just love it when the Nativity scene comes out don't you?"

" Can I put the manger in, with the baby inside?"
"No Wilbur your paws are too big. Perhaps your little friends can help. Bucca and Honey Bun would love to help you."

"Can I shrink like them, I want to put the baby in?"
"Wilbur that is what little friends are for to help you do things you can't"

"Well can I put the fairy on ?"
"Wilbur that is not a fairy its an Angel."
"Well can I put Gloria on?"
"She is not called Gloria, That sign just means  Glory in the highest."
"Is that because she is on the roof and it is high up?"
"No Wilbur, she told the Shepards a baby was born, who was a King and our Savior". "Every year we get these questions. Let us just enjoy the  nativity scene."
"OH I do love Christmas, although there are so many questions that go through my mind."

We have Carols playing, and having warm chocolate milk, with toast, honey and peanut butter.

See you all next week.


This picture is for all my followers.   
If you came to visit you could walk down my pretty foot path.                           

              
My thought for the week.
"Recall it as often as you wish, a happy memory never wears out.."

  1. Hi Wilbur,

    Your tree is bee-u-tee-ful, but the manger is my favorite. Sometimes our teddy bear paws restrict things that we want to do and it makes me sad. Mom tells me to smile 'cause I am so special in her life.

    Wilbur, you are special in my life too.

    Heaps of Hugs

  6. Ohh Kay, ik heb net heerlijk langs je huis gewandeld over
    dat pad bezaait met die goddelijke paarse bloemen, zo
    MOOI.

    En lieve Wilbur, wat jammer nu toch dat je veel te groot bent voor de kribbe waar je zo graag on zou willen liggen. Maar je kleine vriendjes staan er heel mooi bij en daar kanjij dan weer van genieten en op ze passen.

    Tot volgende week, en dikke knuffel......

    Veel liefs,
    Josephine
