Lydda Grace "reads"

Because it's hard to understand in the video this is what she's "reading":

This is the stable where Jesus was born.

This is the cow in the sweet smelling hay, the cat and the kittens and three mice at play, that lived in the stable where Jesus was born.

This is the mother, Mary by name, the mother of Jesus she became, who sat near the cow in the sweet smelling hay.

This is the father, Joseph so tall, who cared for the baby and animals all. But mostly the mother, Mary by name.

These are the shepherds who came in the night. Who left flocks of sheep in their hurry and fright and wished well the father, Joseph so tall.

This is the angel who said, “Fear not.” Who spoke of a birth in a glorious spot and sent fast the shepherds who came in the night.

This is the town of Bethlehem, where families gathered and fill every inn, beheld by the angel who said, “Fear not.”

This is the earth all round and bright that glimmered with hope that first Christmas night at news from a town called Bethlehem.

This is the baby in swaddling clothes. The small, precious baby, the One whom God chose to come to the earth all round and bright, that glimmered with hope that first Christmas night at news from a town called Bethlehem. Where families gathered and filled every inn, beheld by the angel who said “Fear not.” Who sent fast the shepherds who came in the night and wished well the father, Joseph so tall. Who cared for the baby and animals all, but mostly the mother, Mary by name, who sat near the cow in the sweet smelling hay that lived in the stable where Jesus was born.


My favorite is the "smaaallllll pwecious baby" part :)

By the way if you've not seen this book, The Stable Where Jesus was Born, by Rhonda Gowler Greene we HIGHLY recommend!
