The Plan

Christmastime is a great occasion to teach children about Jesus, and His coming into the world just as He had promised. We often call this time of year "Advent", recognizing not only Christ's first coming, but also His second promised coming.

Many homes include a nativity set in their Christmas decorations, remembering that Jesus was born in a manger in a stable, with shepherds and wise men coming to greet Him (nevermind the fact that the wise men likely came up to two years later, long after Jesus had moved from the manger in the stable).

This blog is created to blend the two concepts of Advent and Nativity, by telling children the Gospel story using recognized symbols and truths.  It's a work in progress, and any help you can contribute would greatly help!
