David and Benny: The Miracle in Bethlehem: A Christmas Tale Based on the Gospels. Story of the Birth of Jesus. Start a Family Tradition by Faith Watson

David’s pet sheep Benny is lost in the closing darkness of day on the hills of Bethlehem, with predators on the hunt. Benny usually comes in the fold with the rest of the sheep, where it is safe. Benny and David would spend a little time playing together and snuggle up for warmth by the fire when it was time to sleep. David did not know that while he was frantically searching for Benny in the darkness that a small child was born in the city below. A very special child. David was so afraid for Benny. He loved him so much. It was so dark he couldn’t see to walk without stumbling. When he fell to the ground, he was ready to give up, and he started to cry. David’s father, Jonathan, heard something in the distance. David prayed for a miracle. He would do anything to save Benny. This Christmas, let the story of David, Benny, and the miracle of Bethlehem fill your heart with the spirit of love and hope.
