This Christmas, I have the extra special blessing of celebrating our Savior’s birth in Israel. Dad and Mom gave me the Christmas gift of a “lay-over” in Israel. It is so fun to tour this country with my parents. As we travel from site to site, remembering the historical and Biblical importance of each place, I am not quite able to grasp the significance of such a wonderful trip. It hasn’t really sunk in that I am in Israel. Perhaps it is because I have traveled quite a bit already. Perhaps I am not one to make pilgrimages. Or perhaps it is because I have the presence of our Lord with me wherever I go, whether in the Promised Land or outside of it. Wow, what a blessing that we have God’s very presence with us.
Merry Christmas!
