Because of Bethlehem we have a Savior in heaven.These are the heart shaping promises of Christmas. Long after the guests have left and the carolers have gone home and the lights have come down these promises endure.Lets turn on the lamp curl up in a comfortable spot and look into the odd wonderful story of Bethlehem. Max has found a lifetime of hope. You will too.
