Cowboys Need Jesus

This morning, I noticed William, chubby cheeks resting on his hands, gazing thoughtfully into our nativity scene.

“Oh, I remember doing that as a child!” I said nostalgically.

Eyebrows raised, my daughter, Tiffany, noted, “I don’t think you did quite what William is doing it.”

When I looked a little closer, I saw what had William’s undivided attention…

As my husband said this morning, “Even cowboys need Jesus!”

    In our case, "Army Guys" need Jesus, too. Our army guys find their way into so many different settings…doll house, horses, roping climbing from counter tops. Sweet picture and even sweeter memory of the 'child-like' faith.

    How sweet! Our little boy is also very interested in our Nativity this year…he takes his wet-wipes to the 'Baby Jesus' every morning and cleans his 'diaper'! Little ones do think of the funniest things!

    Merry Christmas!

    Speakin' o' cowboys, y'all know what my sister's boyfriend gave her for Christmas? A gun. A rifle, to be exact. Law, she's officially a huntress..

    Oh! You know, there is little to beat plastic cowboys or army men. I used to even have that same mold I think….
