For the past few weeks Catelyn has been memorizing her lines and preparing for her part in a Christmas play. She was to play a shepherd. Tonight was the play (yes, a few days after Christmas...why can't the celebration continue on past the 25th???). She did a fabulous job! We were so excited and proud of her.
On an educational and developmental standpoint, this was good for her to participate in something that requires teamwork and dependency upon one another. And she did work as a team and knew others depended on her to do her very best. Spiritually, this was so good to reinforce, and bring to life, the story we've been talking about for the past month. It was so fun to see her really embrace her role...she was in awe of the angel's news and in awe of the Baby that she went to see. Great job, Catelyn!
Afterwards, on our ride home, we shared with her who all was in attendance watching the play (there were many she didn't know), her eyes lit up and she was overjoyed to be a part of spreading GOODNESS through her acting - the telling of the true and beautiful story for all people. We are overjoyed too.
