Angels filled the night sky with song. A light, brighter than hundreds of campfires, illumined our fields. Trembling with anticipation, I entered the stable, my lamb in my arms, and knelt before the manger. My lamb nuzzled the infant. His weary mother touched my cheek.
Tears blurred my vision.
“Immanuel.”

The Story Behind this Story
The story prompt for the 2oth was “the best gift”. What did I write about?
For me, the best gift is Immanuel (Hebrew), God with us. This story is from a shepherd’s point of view.
