Friday night was our 3rd year to be a part of the live Nativity at Bethany. It goes for three nights and each night there is a blessing of animals, but we leave Travis at home for obvious reasons. He is still the apple of our eye, but because of his fear of strangers, we will just bless him at home instead.
This year I signed up Wesley for the first time. We thought he was ready to be a Shepard this year. I signed up the 7:20 show and we were dressed and ready to go by the 7:00 show. The Children’s Pastor said we go jump in the 7:00 show since we were dressed. Hank gave me a look, like “can I go?” He was off and Wesley just froze in place. I asked Wesley why he did not want to go with Hank and he was too nervous. He said he would only go if I dressed up too. Next thing I know, I am in an Angel costume with wings and a halo too!
Overall, they did great. Wesley was behind at a few points during the show, but no one noticed. I am not sure that any Shepard’s had light up shoes when Jesus was born….
