Sunday, December 22, 2013: (4th Sunday of Advent)

Jesus said: “My people, because of the Roman census, My parents had to travel to Bethlehem because they were both from the lineage of King David. In My day you had to travel on foot or use a donkey to carry people and their belongings. You have traveled to Israel, and you know how rough and hilly the roads are. Some traveled in caravans for safety from the thieves. You remember this when I was lost in the temple because My parents were in a caravan. Today, you can travel in airplanes or cars, so your travel time is shorter for longer distances. Many families can come together for Christmas because of your shorter travel times. It is your weather conditions that could slow down your travel with snow or freezing rain. You had some freezing rain on your trees, but it was not severe, and it will melt with a warm day. Have a little understanding then, for how much My parents had to endure in their travel, and how difficult it was to find a place to stay. The cave with the animals was not the best place for Me to be born, but it was a humbling experience.”
