the village




In a post a few days back I mentioned buying this little porcelain village with a money gift from a friend. It has been a part of our Christmas for 25 years now and holds a special memory for us.

"Memory grounds us in who we are, where we've come from. Memory shapes and guides us. The Lord said to Moses, 'Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered ...' (Ex. 17:14)" from The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan.

And so we remember. And when I get close in to this little scene, it is so easy to become a part of it, with childlike wonder.
