Little Shepherd by Cheryl G. Malandrinos
Obed is in the hills outside Bethlehem
when the angels appear to announce the Savior's birth. Can he trust
that the miracle of the first Christmas will keep his flock safe
while he visits the newborn King?
Excerpt:
Off in the
distance, a wolf howled. Obed moved closer to his flock, scanning the
hills for any sign of a pack that might race in and steal his sheep.
His family depended upon the sheep for food and their wool for
clothing. No sheep would be lost under his watch.
He
shivered inside his cloak. While the days were getting warmer, the
nights still chilled him. He walked over to the large fire blazing
inside the pit. He rubbed his hands together and held them up to the
fire to warm them.
Above him,
the sky twinkled with millions of stars. Obed couldn’t remember a
night so clear.
Suddenly,
a bright light filled the sky.
Obed
trembled. “Father, what is happening?”
