Attitude of Gratitude


This week has been a trying week for me, but I made it through. I hope next week gets better. I do have a lot of things to be grateful for despite having some rough patches here and there. I did end the week on a nice peaceful way. My church had a Nativity Exhibit Friday and Saturday. I was able to go over tonight and see it. There was lots and lots of Nativity things. There was also lots of music going on through this whole event. It was just a wonderful peaceful thing to see. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to see it. This is something from what I understand that is going to be an every year activity. The total exhibit was from Nativity items that belonged to the members of my church in my area. There were Christmas trees, garlands, pictures everywhere. There were poinsettias, red and white ones everywhere also that were bought by the members and then after the exhibit is over we will be able to get them and use them in our homes. This really was a beautiful thing to see and a lot of work went into getting it all accomplished. Here is the website for the Nativity Exhibit if anyone wants to check it out www.valparaisonativityexhibit.blogspot.com

I took some pictures of some of the exhibits that I thought I would share. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did seeing them in person.



This was a crocheted set that was really cute.


The above picture was taken so you could sort of see an overall look of the gym as it was decorated. The Nativity's were all around the perimeter of the gym.
This was in the center of the gym and had the white Nativity's surrounding the tree.
Some Precious Moments Nativity sets.The above was an edible Nativity set. It smelled wonderful in that room and I am so sure that this took a long time to make. There is also a closeup of some of the sheep and of the roof so you get an idea of what it looked like.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead and takes time to enjoy the season and be nice to everyone. Smile always it makes for a nice day and you never know it may mean a lot to someone.
