16 days to go...

Today we "traveled" to ancient Bethlehem. We met tax collectors, scribes, a rabbi, people at the market and Mary and Joseph. We got to pet sheep, goats, a camel and a dove. We listen to prophets and the rabbi proclaim the coming of the Messiah. Then we got to witness Mary and Joseph and the angels in the stable. This is my very favorite of all Christmas traditions- our Walk through Bethlehem.



Micah 5:2,4-5
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times... He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth. And He will be their peace."

What a unbelievable experience for your kids to always remember! That is what makes the words jump off pages and really come alive! How fun!
