In reply to Wanda J. Thanks for reading the post and commenting. I, too, love the message. And I couldn't resist sharing the story related to me by a friend with a total stranger. It's interesting what sticks with me, and this story did. Merry Christmas!

I like the message of the empty manger!

In reply to gallivance.net. You may be right about that serious karmic payback. I'd hate to stand before the Pearly Gates and admit to stealing the Baby Jesus, but there are probably worse crimes. Not sure why people want to deface property that obviously brings so much joy to so many. Best wishes for happy holidays no matter where you are spending them.

In reply to lexklein. Thanks so much for reading to the end. It is a sweet story. One that I've never forgotten. It's all in your perspective about things that determine the value, I suppose. Best wishes for happy holidays!

People that steal from churches must be risking some serious karmic payback Rusha. I’m always amazed when I hear of it happening. But, I think your friend had the right idea. ~James

Great little story … I’m not a huge nativity scene person, but I’m glad I read on because the message was really nice!

In reply to Rajiv. Thanks so much! It was one of those serendipitous moments, I guess. That jogger just happened by right when we were there. Thanks for reading/commenting.
