{Day Twenty-Two}
Away in a Manger
The Bible is the story of God’s rescue plan for us; Jesus was sent to earth to save us from our sin. That’s what John 8:12 means when it says Jesus is the LIGHT. Even though He was the light of the world, He was born surrounded by animals and hay.
If your neighborhood has a local, live Nativity scene, it could be fun to visit.
What’s YOUR favorite Nativity animal?

To remind yourself of how GREAT God is, write down some of your favorite Bible verses.
Here are a few of mine.

James 1:19
My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.
