Bethlehem

Last night, we took a trip to Bethlehem... we stepped back in time and wandered the streets searching for a special child we had heard was in the city. here are a few of the sites we found while we were there... (all pictures can be seen larger with a simple click) Lil Angel meats George the camel... Shalom! This wise man shared a little of his gold with us... Here... try our goat cheese... Little beggars were everywhere... This one saw my camera and couldn't contain her joy... Try some of my spices... Lil Angel is always willing to lend a hand... Here she is grinding grain into flour And then chopping out a bowl We didn't have enough sheckels to buy one of these chickens, but they sure looked tasty... The basket makers tried there best to ignore the crowds and continue with their work... And again, Lil Angel lends a hand making fine pottery... And making rope Finally, the reason for our trip to Bethlehem... We found the child laying in the manger. Lil Angel decided to give her jeweled ring that a wise man had given her to the child... We had a great time on our journey. lil Angel wanted to go thru again as soon as we walked out the door. I love her fascination with God- I want that... I want to look at it all with such a fascination- with such a devotion- I learned a lot just from watching her. Definately worth the trip- I can't wait to do it again....
