A fresh new take... That’s perfect!
Mary said yes and so God carefully wrapped the very special gift in her stomach. God looked and God saw and God said “That’s perfect!”
God made the world, and was very careful to add all the right ingredients, enough food and all the things needed for homes and clothes for everyone to share. God looked and God saw and God said “That’s perfect!”
God knew that Mary would need some help, after all this was a very special gift to take care of. So God chose Joseph to help her and sent him a special message dream to show him what to do. Joseph took good care of Mary and God looked and God saw and God said “That’s perfect!”
Time passed by and God saw that people were not being kind, they had stopped sharing and loving and so God decided to send some help. God sent Kings to rule and guide the people and prophets to explain how it was supposed to be. Eventually God decided it was time to send a special gift for the world so that the world would understand how it was meant to be. God decided that the gift would need to be wrapped. God did not choose brightly coloured wrapping paper or a padded envelope or even a great big cardboard box. This gift needed a very special type of wrapping up. God looked around and saw a girl, a very ordinary and young girl and God sent an angel messenger to ask if it would be ok?
God wanted the gift to be born somewhere special. God knew just the right place but it was a long way away. How would Mary and Joseph get there? God did not choose a train, a bus or a taxi. Mary and Joseph had to walk and ride a donkey. God looked and God saw and God said “That’s perfect!”
