"Journey to Bethlehem"

A family from our church put on a Christmas event called a "Journey to Bethlehem" right in their own backyard. They have been doing this for the past 7 years and this was our first time to go, we were amazed and so blessed how a family could transform their ordinary wooded backyard into a walk to Bethlehem. Complete with a shepherd for our guide and live sheep and donkeys, we visited the marketplace, saw the angel Gabriel, visited with the Magi, stopped at the crowded Inn, and ended at the stable....


The journey ends with a walkway of scripture verses that remind us not to still think of Him as a baby in that manger, but as the one who payed the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have eternal life.
