From the Heart

For over two decades one daughte has given me a nativity every year for Christmas. Most of them have been handmade and this one is no exception. It is filled with meaning because my children went with me for my last ever visit to where I grew up and she picked up the basalt rocks (Mary, Joseph, Jesus, Kings, and shepherds)from the yard of my childhood home and the driftwood (star of Bethlehem) from the beach where I spent my summers to make this nativity for me. It may not look like much to you but to me, it is one of the most beautiful ones I own.
