Well It’s Christmas eve. It’s almost time.
My mom has the coolest old school nativity.
I believe it’s like clay or terracotta or something like that.
I have a friend that died this year that had an even older one. She died this year. She was in my Franciscan fraternity. She was a great lady and full of love for everyone. We have a meeting once a month and in December it is our Christmas party. She brings the old Nativity and the best spaghetti i have had in a long time. It’s a bit different. It has bacon in it and between the bacon and the sauce it brings a great flavor to it.
This year since she died we didn’t have her, her spaghetti or her nativity. Someone else bought their nativity and it was good just not the same. Once reason we have a nativity is St. Francis is credited with creating it. And some people don’t put out Jesus until Christmas morning and some put him out right away. I have no preference.
We had a great party but something is lost every time we lose someone in the fraternity. Change isn’t bad it’s just not easy when we are truly used to things and people.
Know that God loves you, even though you may not think you are worthy of his love. You are God can make you worthy.
I hope you all have a great Christmas eve and Christmas season.
Merry Christmas!
