Imagine 42 preschoolers jumping and clapping and singing and smiling and making God happy on one big stage in front of around 200 of their biggest fans. That's exactly what happened on Sunday night at River Valley's preschool Christmas play, "Jump for Joy."
There were angels and shepherds and cows and sheep and donkeys and, of course, little Mary and Joseph. There were storytellers who memorized and spoke their lines loud and clear. There were 3-4-5 year olds singing solos into microphones just like they were on Broadway! There were little children sharing the precious story of Jesus with a few grown-ups who may never have heard it quite this way.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christmas plays! It probably started way back when I learned to tell the Christmas story through drama at my old church. Any way you look at it, Sunday night was a thrill for me. God worked in the lives and hearts of so many families over the past few weeks, and He joined us together on Sunday night so all of us--young and old--could sing and have fun bringing glory to Him during this Christmas season....it just doesn't get any better than that!
