Happy Thanksgiving from Bethlehem
Day 8 in Israel
Stooped into the cave where Jesus was born. Surreal surroundings. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem in such disheaval. The Shepherd's Field nearby. I wept as I faced my own sinfulness. Romans 2:4 - it's His Kindness that leads us to repentance.
Shared a Thanksgiving Meal with my 134 new friends. Quite the feast from a 50-foot salad banquet table to succulent artichokes to tempura turkey to an array of 22 desserts and Roman gelato. But it was the conversations, the precious people who shared what God was forming in their hearts this week, and Larry's word to us that meant so much this Thanksgiving Day. For 2 Cor 4 says God is shining Light in our hearts so that we can see the Glory of God and reveal His Glory by the way we relate. "Being committed to the well-being of others at any cost to ourselves." Repentance is in order.
May you reveal Christ to others. May you release the Beautiful Christ in you this Thanksgiving Day!

Bev, you reveal Christ to me. what an awesome place to spend Thanksgiving day. Know that you are probably not ready to come back to the States yet....am sure your family is wanting you to be home...
Happy Thanksgiving to you, my friend, faithful to tell your story even when inconvenient. I suppose you are like our dear Sylvia this day in it is "a song you must sing!" Safe travels home. You're in my prayers!
