Tonight a couple of my friends and I went to the Living Nativity in Alpine. What really stood out to me was the long lines and just wanting everyone to hurry so that we could see the baby Jesus. There were places that we passed families taking pictures with the camels and other live stock because we wanted to see the baby Jesus.
I just wanted to get to where Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus were and to feel of the love of our Heavenly Father showed us with a new born baby and older brother. There were crowds of people and lines wandering through to get to the baby.
It was super noisy but when we got to the barn where Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus were there was just a reverence and quiet that was so peaceful. My one friend and I were talking about how there was these lines to see this baby Jesus and got talking about when Jesus comes again the lines there would be to see Him. I mentioned that we probably wouldn't mind standing in a line to see our Savior. We would just patiently wait our turn. Just seeing that new baby and how perfect he seemed was so touching.
How great it was to have a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and to be away from the hustle and bustle of the world. May we all remember the true meaning of Christmas!
