@BethMooreLPM First of all, let's be clear that they aren't protecting shepherds. They're protecting wolves.

30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular.

The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic.

A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone.

What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God.

So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected.

And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs.

When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away.

This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God.

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

*Jesus is the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas!

A nurse in Texas sang “How Great Thou Art” while feeding her patient.

The patient's daughter captured the moment as her mother was smiling at the nurse singing. 😊

The observer of beauty always gets a passion to share that beauty with others. The praise completes the enjoyment (C.S. Lewis). You always talk about what you love. What do you most love talking? What do you tend most to think about and dwell on when free to do so?

@FairfieldHotels @Marriott Drove an extra hour for the indoor pool so grandkids could swim. Water was freezing, so no swimming. Why is indoor pool not heated in winter? Kids so disappointed. Nana, too.

@BethMooreLPM You didn't hurt me. You taught me that it's OK to love Jesus and question people. Even religious people. Especially religious people. You taught me that being a woman is a gift, not a curse. Thank you. I love you.
