And so, at this Christmas time, I greet you, with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away."
Fra Giovanni
Awhile back, while on one of my thrift shop excursions, I noticed a glittery little cardboard box. Being the curious soul that I am, I took a peek inside
A hidden treasure
Alas, no crib for a bed
Shall I play for Him? pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
Make joy!

you made him a beautiful manger :)
p.s. and thank you for the quote and the prayer(s)...
Oh, such beauty. I think this quote is a knew favorite!
Take peace. I think of you every time I see my little sign that reads, "Be at peace." I imagine you humming (or singing out loud) to yourself while you were making the manger. I believe you took joy in the making. Love you.
Oh, I love that Fra Giovanni thingy! We listen to it every year on one of our Christmas Revels CDs. Do you know the Christmas Revels? I think you would like them...
Love the way you see things, and then share for our joy too! Thanks:)

Sure you can, Emily! xx thank you.
Kit, No, I haven't heard of Christmas Revels. I'll look them up. Thanks!
What an adorable manger! It reminds me of the fairy house you made.
P.S. I'm catching up on lots of commenting today, so expect to hear a lot from me on your previous posts too :)
Thank you,Miss Essential <3
I am glad you are so curious; this is a great find! And I love the little manger you made.
It's a beautiful manger you've made!
The baby Jesus looks so much more at home in your manger. He was waiting.
I always think of Advent as our waiting for the baby Jesus to come, but I see from this example how much He waits for us.
Beautiful work (play!)
Joan
