Countdown to Christmas

During this FamilyQuest unit we are learning about four specfic dreams related to the Christmas story.  Be sure to read and talk about those dreams at home!

1.  An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David do not fear to take Mary as your wife’ (Matt 1:20b)

2.  An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him (Matt 2:13)

3.  And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod [the wise men] departed to their own country by another way (Matt 2:12)

4.  But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.’ (Matt 2:19)
