I want to drink hot cocoa with a donkey while he reads me “Goodnight Moon”.

But yeah I don’t like the spider idea though. I’d never be in any manger scene with lots of spiders. I hate them.

I was part of a living nativity in Germany and the sheep (ram) had massive horns. I was Mary and was supposed to sit still for a certain amount of time ooking adoringly at the babydoll in the manger. The sheep with the massive horns wanted to eat the hay or straw in the manger, though, so I kept whispering to my husband, Joseph to use his shepherd's crook to keep the sheep out of the manger. We forget that it IS a feeding trough.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this yet or not… but where the heck do we get that Mary rode to Bethlehem on a donkey? (I had always believed that until this year, actually, so no finger-pointing, just a question!)

Good point Jon, I never thought of it that way! But keep the spiders out of this. They creep me out.

I've been on multiple mission trips and it seems like the shower always becomes part of the story.
In the Philippines we had a shower that had a guard spider. We would go in and turn it on full blast to get this minuscule trickle of water. Every morning this huge spider would come out from hiding in the wall, rare its front two feet up and choose us off. I don't know why we didn't just pick up a brick and smash it. Fortunately it never made a run at me or I'm sure I would have had a stroke.
Last time in Romania the government graciously decided to turn off the hot water for the whole time I was there. We had to heat the water up on the stove and then use a cup to pour the water over our body.

Scary, yes, but also miraculous – God makes us strong enough, and teaches us tons about life and love along the way. Don't rush it…but don't fear it, either.
