Every year at the beginning of Christmas season my family looks forward to attending the festival of nativities put on by our church. This year, Grandma Tippetts was helping with a similar event called, "The Life of Christ" an Easter tribute to the life Christ led and his great gift to us, the atonement. The more I heard her talking about it the more I knew it was something I had to take my family to. It was such a busy time of the year, we almost didn't make it. I am so glad we did. I will NEVER miss this event again.
Thanks to truly talented people we had the opportunity to watch Christ's life unfold before our eyes as we walked through the cultural center. From His birth...
to His resurrection art and actors portrayed feelings and testimonies of the Savior. It was so well done. The writing for the vignettes was so powerful. You felt as if you were there. The spirit was so strong. At the end there was a young girl singing "I Wonder When He Comes Again" in her clear soprano voice. It made you wonder what part you would play in his second coming. Am I doing my part after all He has done for me?
A big thank you to all who put in so much time and effort to make this event happen. Sister Kelley was playing the woman at the well. She and her family were helpful to Eric in his decision to join the church. How sweet it was to feel of her testimony during this event and reflect upon the life changing influence it had upon my life when she shared it so many years ago with my husband. Eric and I enjoyed introducing the kids to her.
We have definitely found a new family tradition - one to celebrate the joy of the Easter Season and the gifts of our Savior.
