“I have noticed,” she said slowly, “that time does not really exist for mothers, with regard to their children.  It does not matter greatly how old the child is – in the blink of an eye, the mother can see the child again as it was when it was born, when it learned to walk, as it was at any age – at any time, even when the child is fully grown and a parent itself.”

Voyager, Diana Gabaldon, pg 516

Read this this morning and almost started crying!  (I think Christmas time makes me a little emotional!)  I know all  you mothers out there can relate!  As I think about the Christ Child as a baby I can only imagine what his mother felt at the moment of his birth and through the years to follow!

I found this next image when I was searching for the other two I have inserted.  I have this very nativity scene on my tree.  I got it at a garage sale!  I love it and thought I would share it with you!  (Mine is missing some of the parts but it still shares the message of the Savior’s birth.)

May this be a very merry and blessed Christmas!
