Day Three... Straw

So, I am a big liar, but I wanted the dates to correspond with the advent day. Anyway, tonight for FHE we talked about service and that doing nice things for people is like doing them for Jesus. A family in our ward puts out an empty manger box every year and the people in the ward/ community can put a straw in when they do something nice for someone else. Then on Christmas eve they put up the rest of the nativity scene with the baby Jesus in a hopefully nice and cushy bed of straw. The boys thought this was cool and spent some time thinking of something nice they had done that day then we went up to make our contributions. The manger wasn't there yet! The little men were so disappointed! I told them maybe they take it down at night so someone bad doesn't steal it or something. We'll check back later...
