Precious Moments Museum

Carthage, MO

We had some time today, so we went to the Precious Moments museum just an hour away in Carthage, MO. It was a lovely place, and the man who created the idea of the little figurines has left a wonderful testimony in the chapel and museum. Mr. Butcher started in Child Evangelism and has a real heart for children. Many of the characters in the paintings were dedicated to children who had passed away. We were able to hear some of their stories and see the memorials on the grounds and in the chapel for many of the children and young people that he had been affected by. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed knowing more about the man behind the loveable characters we've seen all our lives. Sonda and Nonni Stine were able to go with us.
