This week in school we are learning the song O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
It's one of my favorites and has become Henry's favorite this year too.

Today I reminded the kids that Emmanuel literally means "God with us."
After discussing what that actually means for a few minutes, I asked if anyone remembered the definition of Emmanuel.
Bridget's hand shot up in the air..."I know, I know! God is our friend."
"Yes, He is," I said, "but what did I tell you that Emmanuel means exactly?"
Jonah was eager to give me his version next..."Jesus beside us on earth."
"Well, yes. But what exact words did I tell you it means?"
Finally Henry, raising an eyebrow in exasperation with his siblings said, "God with us."
I think they get it. :)
