Preparing my manger
FOR MANY FAMILIES joy at Christmas reaches far beyond the warmth and laughter shared by people who love being together.
Growing up with Christian Science, and inspired by our mom, my siblings and I felt a divine influence at Christmas, a vary tangible presence of Love, or God. More than celebrating the birth of Jesus, for us it was the promise of spiritual healing for everyone—the true Christ-mission—that made our times together significant.
