Jesse Tree ~ Day 23

December 23
And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.’” Matthew 1:20,21

Today’s symbol: Hammer

Ideas to do and talk about:
*Read Matthew 1:18-25 and talk about Joseph’s dream. What was he told to name the baby? What does that name mean?
*Play with tools and pretend to be a carpenter like Joseph.
*This is a beautiful song and the pictures of Joseph’s role in Jesus’ life were so touching to me:

*Color the hammer ornament!
