Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh

When these three words are mentioned in one single sentence, many images come to mind:

-Three Wise Men (ha!! had they been that Wise, they would have asked for directions...ba duhn duhn)

-Birthday gifts - I'm not sure how a newborn would have played with these items...of course it's the thought that counts

-Riches both valuable and mysterious

Yes they could be all of the above, but in my household we are very fortunate to have the Three Wise Men all rolled up in one Little Bear.

Worth more than any gold, Paden's first Christmas card that he wrote in his own hand.

The clay lady came to visit the school and this was the end result: a lovely little snowman in the forest with a candle/campfire....you could say Frankincense - we just call him Frank for short.


Last but certainly not least is myrrh. What the heck is myrrh???? Very good question.

I'm not quite sure myself, but I think it would look similar to the lovely little flecks that accompanied the candle craft that Paden did at his daycare program.

I wouldn't trade these riches for any others in the world.

We are so truly blessed.

Thank you Paden for your lovely gifts to us - I promise to hold them dearer than the greatest treasures.
