Here are some things that have captured my heart and imagination lately....
1. http://www.bethlehemstar.net/. The science behind the star of Bethlehem. I love this stuff! Before time began, God set the heavens in motion and at precise times in history the heavens themselves tell the story so clearly that men leave their homeland(s) to investigate and worship. Amazing!
2. God in Ancient China. The links for this weren't working when I emailed them earlier, so look it up on youtube. Seth watched Part 1 with me, the whole hour of it. And I had to watch Part 2 today, also. The blackboard with the Chinese writing telling the stories (I had read a book about this a long time ago and was looking for it again, when I came across the videos which had even more information)... The timeline (we are learning the timeline of history for school this year!)... And then the comet, eclipse, and prophecies that were being fulfilled in the West... It is an honor and privilege that God is allowing this ancient culture to become part of our family story. I am so thankful that we are part of HIS story.
I feel so encouraged and amazed at God and what he has done! I love this time of year and am really looking forward to starting Advent on Sunday! Please let me know if you have time to check these out, because I am sooooo very excited about learning new things and talking about them. :o)
