bethlehem
yep, bethlehem.
at night, we sat in shepherd's field and re-enacted the christmas story
(maybe baby jesus was a water bottle, maybe not)
but sitting in the (rocky) field, looking up at the sky, one star (planet?) even shined brighter than the rest.
it was one of the few places where i have been able to block out the modern world, and picture it like it used to be.
it was so easy to see the shepherds dropping everything and running to the city to find the newborn Lord.
and since i have a newfound love for primary, here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs:
picture a stable in judea,
picture a sacred, silent night.
and can you hear the angels near
and see the star so bright?
picture the little baby Jesus.
think of his life and words so dear.
sing praise to Him; remember Him as you picture Christmas this year.
picture the kind and gentle joseph.
picture the mother, mary, fair
and can you see so reverently
the shepherds kneeling there?
picture the little baby Jesus.
think of his life and words so dear.
sing praise to Him; remember Him as you picture Christmas this year.

I'm so jealous. I'm longing for Jerusalem. You're such a lucky ducky right now.
