Today's new drawing is of Baby Jesus thanking the donkey that 

carried him and his mother to Bethlehem.  

Baby Jesus says Thank You to the Donkey

If  Joseph and Mary had a donkey then Mary probably rode the long trip to Jerusalem from Nazareth.  It is about 90 miles or 145 km.  The journey would have taken several days.  The donkey may also have been carrying food supplies, bedding, and maybe even a tent.  So the donkey would have had quite a workout.  

Baby Jesus was probably no ordinary baby.  Before he took on a body He was the creator of the world.  He was the all-powerful Jehovah.  So maybe he would have been able to communicate with the donkey and say thanks.  If you look closely at the drawing you will see that Baby Jesus is the source of the light. . . which is the truth. Jesus is the source of light and truth to us mortals, here on Earth.   

One more thing, this is a drawing of the stable in a cave.  Some historians think that the stable where Jesus was born could have been in a cave.  You could color in the ceiling of the cave - probably a darker color.  The ground is strewn with straw.  It could be colored yellow.  The donkey is a Jerusalem Donkey.  They have an extra-long mane that grows far down and along their back to make a cross.
