Christmas gifts
The Wise Men brought Jesus three gifts at the manger; Jesus brought three gifts to us today with the names Marla, Sarah, and Maribeth. For seven straight years, these friends have been planning an annual Christmas craft fair that is a homerun every year. Today's Christmas craft fair was at Harvest Vineyard and was an array of young and old alike eating a pancake breakfast served by Harvest and making homemade Christmas gifts with materials set up by Orchard Hill. The morning brought volunteers and partners, smiles, introductions, and good conversation around tables. I believe I counted a dozen stations- hot chocolate, bath salts, earrings, pins, photos and photo frames, ornaments, Bible verses on an easel, cards and envelopes, and more. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning in this season of remembering the greatest gift of all, Jesus.
