Good memories made
In harder moments, I have had to help my mind go back to Bethlehem. Nativity scenes gained a new realness and importance for me this Christmas!
I think of Mary and Joseph in the stable, with the animals. I think of them placing the brand new baby Jesus in most likely a trough, known as the manger. They wrapped him in cloths they had.
During this time the shepherds were out tending to their flocks and an angel appeared to them. The angel told them of the great news of a Savior being born in a stable!
Luke 2: 10 and 11 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all of the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord."
The shepherds when to find baby Jesus.
And after some time, three wise men- known as magi - saw a bright star in the sky. The wise men traveled to find the new king.
A THRILL OF HOPE, THE WEARY WORLD REJOICES
