Micah...

(Sara:) Here are some of the materials for Advent, Week 2, the reading of Micah 5. (I also set out our large bible on a beautiful wooden bible stand.) Micah 5, by the way, is one of the most amazing passages in the OT, if you ask me. When I first "discovered" it a few years ago, it blew me away, and I had to read it over & over... So, although it will be many years before it begins to sink into our children in much depth, I was very happy to proclaim it's words this past week! It just so happened to work out to bake petit breads the same day. (I didn't really plan that!) But just to note, the meaning of Bethlehem "house of bread" is just one of many possible readings of that name. It is a very beautiful meaning that I love, but I'm quick to acknowledge that it isn't definitive by any means...
