Backblip

A full day today. Last minute preparations this morning and then the crib service this afternoon, another full service and lots of children to take part. This year the baby Jesus was played by 6 month old Grace, she took the part in her stride. A very special time for her parents as she had a difficult start to her life. 

Between the crib service and the midnight service I had to write an unexpected sermon as my colleague was ill. The service went well but then it took me a while to unwind as usual.  Half way there ...

I was upset at the end of the crib service. I was asking the children if Santa was going to visit. When I said "Is he going to visit your house?" they said yes. When I asked if he was going to visit my house one girl said "No. You're an adult and Santa doesn't visit adults." I asked a few more the same question and all but one said no. :-(
