Our 5 year old son took us by surprise last night! It was just getting dark and we had finished eating supper, when he quickly popped outside to get something. A few seconds later he came running inside saying, "Come and see Jesus' star! Come and see Jesus' star!"
Our immediate response was, "Our child has lost his marbles!" However, it slowly dawned on us that he was talking about the Evening Star and then we chuckled about it. He made the simple connection between the star at Christ's birth and the one he was seeing now. What is even more profound is that he taught me another lesson -"Jesus is present with us today, as much as he was real 2000 years ago."
Thank you Nathan for the reminder.
Matthew 2:1-2 - "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."
And a child shall lead them...
Living in Grace,

wow - such wisdom from the mouths of children. we had a youth weekend this summer called "the adventure of child-like faith".
it was a great experience, mostly for the adults!
(liking the new blog format!)
Thanks for the comments Pete. The idea of the camp sounds great. We may need to 'borrow' your idea sometime.
Blessings
