Nathan wrote a special book for everyone on Christmas morning. He also made a large banner with different verses and such. I thought I'd publish them here for all to read.

The Story of Jesus

Mary brought forth her first born baby. Mary called him Jesus! Jesus grew up to be tall. His Father loved Him very much.

Jesus was really perfect. He pleased the Lord. He did not brag. He just walked by.

He is the son of the Creator. Jesus died on the cross. Someday He will come back to Earth.

Jesus followed all of the commandments! God was very proud. Jesus healed many people.

The End

Next was a banner that he hung in the dining room for all to read. He made it by taping several sheets of paper together. Each page had a picture, verse, etc. on it.

~Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.

~Happy Holidays! (with a beautiful Christmas scene)

~(A picture of Jesus in the manger.)

~Happy Christmas day Grandma, Grandpa, Katie, Mom, and Dad and Happy Birthday Jesus!

~Isaiah 49:2-3 He made my words like a sharp sword. He hid me in the palm of his hand. He made me into a sharpened arrow. He took good care of me and kept me safe. He said to me, "You are my true servant Israel. I will show my glory through you."

~Psalm 135:1  Praise the Lord.  Praise the name of the Lord.  You who serve the Lord, praise him.

~Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in peace!

~Psalm 134:3 May the Lord bless you from Zion. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.

~Isaiah 40:28 Don't you know who made everything? Haven't you heard about him?  The Lord is the God who lives forever.  He created everything on earth. He won't become worn out or get tired. No one will ever know how great his understanding is.

~God gave me a house. (picture of our house)

~God gave me a bed. (picture of his bed)

All in all, it was a great Christmas. We enjoyed our time with our family and are ready for some well deserved rest!
