This years Singing Christmas Tree was nothing but amazing once

again.  "While You Were Sleeping" the story of Christ's life was

told through Nathanael's son Joseph.  Joseph was staying with his

Uncle and Aunt whom did not believe that the Messiah had come

yet.  The story line was of a couple who missed what God wanted to give

 them; who looked at events around them with open eyes, but saw nothing. 

Could you miss Christ even when he is all around?  Don't let the things of the

world keep you from Heavenly Father.  Don't be one who is sleeping, but be

awake and aware and receptive for all God wants to give us. 

A great message for us as we go into the Christmas Season. 

I am so thankful we have made this family tradition to go to the

Singing Christmas Tree, not to only see a baby in a manger but the

work of Christ while he was on earth, his death, and resurrection.  It is

important to me that my boys understand the reason Christ, the Son

of God, came to earth.  It was for each one of us.
