I couldn't help but smile as I watched my six year old grandson, Jacob...Papaw's boy...and all the other little children as Santa entered. The "HO HO HOs" and "Merry Christmases" seemed to usher in the joyous occasion of good tidings of great joy for them.
I watched as Jacob began to run as hard as he could (while standing in place), clapping his little hands, and sounding the alarm..."SANTA!!!, SANTA!!!, SANTA...!!!" And then he was lost in the sea of other little children as they realized that Santa had arrived on the scene. Truly a wonderful time for us all.
After everyone (the children, hehe) had sat on Santa's lap and told him what they wanted for Christmas and had received a present from him...baby dolls to remote control cars...the fun really began as everyone started putting their toys into action!!! What a great time they were having.
Our pastor called for everyone's attention and had all the little children gather around him and the Christmas tree that they had so beautifully decorated earlier. He began to ask them questions about the true meaning of Christmas. They were so attentive and eager to answer him, and there was a gentle quietness that settled over them as he began to tell the story of the virgin birth of Jesus.
Beside him, was a little table and on that little table was a little birthday cake, and on the little birthday cake was a little candle, and on that little candle was a little flame, and that little flame became a giant wonderment in the eyes of all who were there...as the little children sang Happy Birthday Jesus...
May God bless you all.
