Advent and Nativity-Nathan celebrates

 

Nathan constructs "3D Christmas"

 

My son, Nathan has autism. He has a special gift and passion for making 3D models. Today, he surprised us by quickly constructing a 3D Christmas model. (Known by many in the rest of the Christian world as a Nativity creche.) We found a good paper star ornament to complete the scene too.

This year, I’ve been purposefully bringing the Christmas season into our home early through the celebration of the season of Advent. What a joy to see it really has soaked in to Nathan’s heart and mind.
