I never wanted to be anything other than a sheep (and HATED being Gabriel the one time was forced to do that at church) but I can imagine lots of disappointment. Luckily at our school, we don't seem to go on appearance- both Mary and the angel had dark hair and dark skin- as it should be!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-64212354524618290872019-12-22T22:22:23.132+00:002019-12-22T22:22:23.132+00:00Deepest sympathies - esp with all the hassle of AP...Deepest sympathies - esp with all the hassle of APs moveAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-47061399098046566142019-12-22T21:54:10.224+00:002019-12-22T21:54:10.224+00:00Ooh stomach bug here too.

It gave me great pleasure this morning to hijack the offertory and send two very small girls down the aisle with the bread and wine - after all, it's their church too. After the service one of them came to the microphone to explain she'd made a birthday card - for Jesus. (apparantly she was disappointed to learn he wouldn't be there in person to receive it. Yes, I know, but the theology wouldn't fit in the birthday slot.)<br />Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and blessed Christmas and new year. xBeaceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705130860177002122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-43876534873064291342019-12-22T12:08:38.110+00:002019-12-22T12:08:38.110+00:00A lovely memory, Angela.

I hope the confidence you gave to that small boy continues, and may more people see children in the way that you do.<br />Warm wishes for a joyful and peaceful Christmas and 2020.GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-11180853400276214762019-12-22T09:10:46.007+00:002019-12-22T09:10:46.007+00:00Thank you for sharing this, Angela.
