Bringing Bethlehem to Jones

Last night people from all over Michigan came together to bring Bethlehem to Jones. Some were angels. Some were shepherds. Some brought cookies. Some brought a goat (sacrificing the former-pleasant aroma in their van). The snow fell and the roads became challenging so many stayed tucked away in their home, but a few brave souls ventured out to see and hear the story of our Savior's first coming.

The stable is stable at last!

Though we had gathered for the purpose of creating a nativity scene, the weekend evolved into much more. An amazing blend of family and friends filled our home and the combination was incredible. Family? Friend? After a while the two blended until it became almost impossible to tell the difference.

Today was full of good-byes despite our hopes that the snow would continue to fall and that everyone would be snowed in and have to stay longer. We are so thankful to everyone who embraced being slightly to majorly inconvenienced in order to be here! We miss you already.

A Multitude of Heavenly Hosts!
