    Made me cry, I love it!
    Many blessings on all the children and adults involved!
    May God continue to inspire you with the different aspects of this world-changing story!!
    My play was about the Christmas angels - we 7 older folk sang carols tied together with short comments, and people enjoyed it… But this play with the children is so lovely and special!

    A great literary approach to the script, and oh so fun on the visuals. I have watched it half a dozen times since I found it yesterday. Thanks for all the work you put into these--you make it a feast to look forward to, each Christmas. I must add that after I watched it several times, I found myself tuning out from the visuals and just listening, and the spiritual concepts struck even deeper, in a new and poignant way. Love it when visual arts are multi-faceted.

I shared the link wtih our church this year, since we aren't doing a play of our own (COVID and all that) and the kids are disappointed. This is wonderful.

    One of my favorite videos of all time. I show it every year in my bible class. It embodies the biblical truth that Christ "made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." (Phil 2:7) And when the little angel asks, "Can we sing for Him", I well up with emotion every time. Beautifully written and produced. "Brilliant!"
