Cori and I started collecting nativities the winter we got engaged. We have been gifted a few from my parents' travels as well as from Cori's mom's crafting excellence. Of course, they get set up around the house come this time of year. On Saturday we were busy cleaning. At one point I noticed that the nativities with multiple pieces (and that were in arms' reach) had all been rearranged by Gracie and Grant. When we first set them out, all the sheep, wise men, shepherds, etc. were spread out and arranged to show all the figures like a picture. But the kids found more appropriate placement. All the figures are circled around and focused on the Christ child. It made me smile, and then reflect. Amidst the craziness of trying to get a million things checked off my list this weekend it was a good reminder about what I should have my heart focused on.
