But she writes, one of our earliest 62 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: Christmas traditions was setting out the Fisher Price Nativity set 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: when my. 64 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Daughters were little. It sat right on the. 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: Coffee table where their little hands could reach it. I 66 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: remember them joyfully moving the pieces around, sometimes even sending. 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: Baby Jesus flying. 68 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: I love that but what they loved most was pressing 69 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: the angel on top of the manger, lighting it up, 70 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: and playing away in a manger. The sweet glow felt 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: magical to them, and it was their first introduction that 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: baby Jesus is the light. Another Cherish tradition is piling 73 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: into the car one night before Christmas to drive through 74 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: a nearby neighborhood that features a beautiful white display with 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: oversized pages telling the story of a classic Christmas. As 76 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: we pass each home, the girls take turns reading the 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: story allowed until we reach the inn, surrounded by darkness, 78 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: the light becomes more than decoration. They remind us that 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: Jesus is the light of the world, she said. They 80 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: close out the season like many families do, with the 81 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 2: Christmas Eve candle light service at church, where each of 82 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: us lights a candle symbolizing the flame of Christ in 83 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: our hearts. And I love this next part that she 84 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: shared with us As a mother, I pray that the 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: seeds planted in their hearts all those years ago when 86 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 2: they press that glowing angel and heard the simple tune 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: of a way and the Manger will continue to grow 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: in them. Life has brought its own seasons of darkness 89 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: and pain for them. But my mother's prayer is that 90 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: the true Light Jesus came into this world to meet 91 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: them in their darkest places, to bring healing, to offer freedom, 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: and to remind them that they're never alone. 93 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 3: Okay, now we're all crying. Leona, I know, Oh my goodness. 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: Leona is really she has captured through the years kind 95 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: of the journey. And I think that's what makes me 96 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 4: emotional because I have some of those same memories that 97 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: my girls are older and I still remember. I mean, 98 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 4: you always still have that Fisher Price Nativity set. I 99 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: mean they have shepherds and there's wise men, and there's 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 4: the Nativity and baby Jesus all over the place. 101 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: I mean, wait, can we talk. 102 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: About You know, I have little so I'm on the 103 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 2: other end of the spectrum. So we are still putting 104 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: the Manger scene out, the Fisher Price Mager scene. 105 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: But my angel doesn't light up. 106 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 4: That must have been an I think our angel, Okay, 107 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: our angel like sat on top of the stable and 108 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: you would push him down and the music would play. 109 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: That's what I music or lights come on? 110 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 3: So deep. 111 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: I know it's so true, but. 112 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 4: What I love what I loved about that and I 113 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 4: think Leona really captured that, is that getting our kids 114 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: involved physically into the story where they can play and 115 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: they can because that's how kids learn, that's how they 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: were member is they physically get their hands on things 117 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 4: they can touch and feel. 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: And I think so much of Christmas. 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 4: I mean, we're all guilty, and we all have our 120 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: special things that we put up high that we don't 121 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: want our littles to touch because you know, we want it. 122 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: We don't want them to break. That's completely normal. But 123 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 4: to have aspects of Christmas that they can just play 124 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 4: with and touch and experience on their level, that to 125 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 4: me is what that Fisher Price Christmas Dutivity Set is 126 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 4: all about. And we have that and other examples of that, 127 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: but the og really is the Fisher Price set because 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: it's so good. I mean, you can if you literally 129 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: can't destroy that thing. So it's it's just a great, 130 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 4: great thing. 131 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: And I don't know if they had this or when 132 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: your girls were grown up, or if this is a 133 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: new thing, but with my daughter, my sister bought it 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: for us. 135 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: But it was the pop out like an advent calendar, and. 136 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: Each day in December it had a little pop out 137 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: character and it was I mean, we did it when 138 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: she was just like two years old. She was so 139 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: excited to get her character out. And then now we 140 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: have the set and we just bring it out at her. 141 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: But yeah, that's really really cool. 142 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 4: That's so fun, and I love that they did things 143 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 4: all throughout the year. And really the heart behind Share 144 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: the Light is really to get your family involved, to 145 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 4: get your family thinking kind of outside the box, like 146 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 4: who around us can we share this with? 147 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: And I love these. 148 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 4: Ideas because kids of all ages, of all ages can 149 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: think about Jesus being the light of the world and 150 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: how do we share that with the people around us? 151 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: And two, especially for us, the candle light service is 152 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 4: always one of my favorite things I look forward to 153 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: every year. And I have found, I don't know about you, Nikoleve, 154 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: but I've found that Christmas is just a season where 155 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 4: people are more open to the Gospel. They're more open 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: to hearing these stories and understanding how they too can 157 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: participate in the story of Christmas. And so I think 158 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 4: it's just a great season to be thinking intentionally, Hey, 159 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: how can we even invite other people into this space, 160 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 4: and how can we encourage them through sharing the. 161 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: Light of the world. 162 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: I love it so good. 163 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: Leona is so good. 164 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: What I really liked about Leona's story is the way 165 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: that she was bringing Jesus kind of into these regular moments, 166 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: like just driving through a neighborhood and looking at Christmas lights. 167 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: But then their conversation was around the light and Jesus 168 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: being the light and the representations of that, And so 169 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: to me, it's such a reminder of you know, some 170 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: people say we've taken Christ out of Christmas or whatever 171 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: it is. Well, you know it's our job to put 172 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: him back in, you know, use these regular everyday moments 173 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 2: and bring Jesus into your conversation, invite him in, you know, 174 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: take friends to go see Christmas lights, walk down the street, 175 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: and talk about that with your children. 176 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: Right. 177 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be some you don't have to 178 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: get out a Bible and do a forty minute Bible 179 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: study on the Nativity story, right, but you can just 180 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: talk about Jesus and the light being just a part 181 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: of your everyday interactions, you know, talking about why we 182 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: put lights on the Christmas tree, when we string the 183 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: Christmas tree, you know, just simple things that we can 184 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: do with our kids that just bring Jesus into our 185 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: everyday conversation. And I think that that is what really 186 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: helps our kids to feel like He is an authentic 187 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: part of our life, like we can access. 188 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: Him whenever we want to, and you know. 189 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: These little reminders that we have, I think that that 190 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: can really encourage our kids. 191 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 192 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 3: I think with the emphasis on this being every day. 193 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: Right right, I said that not too long ago on 194 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: the podcast, I'm like, we chose the name of this 195 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: podcast and the book series very intentionally because it is 196 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: that everyday nature. 197 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: You know that everyday parents. 198 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 2: What if for the month of December we prayed every 199 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: day with our children, whether that's in the carpool line 200 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: or before we go to bed at night. 201 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: Jesus, help us share your light today. 202 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: I love that, help us in your. 203 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Light and help us share your light. 204 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: Like what a simple prayer we can teach our children 205 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: to pray regardles Us of their age. 206 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: I love that.
