Walking to the Manger Butch Odom

Walking to the Manger is a four-week daily devotional inviting you to make walking, reflecting, and prayer a part of your daily Advent practice. Just as Mary and Joseph traveled the long journey to Bethlehem, during the Christian season of Advent, we journey in faith through the lessons of the season. We prepare in body and spirit to meet the Christ-child once again.

In the words of a psalm, every week of Walking to the Manger begins a new theme for reflection. You'll also find space to record a "movement goal," or a reasonable physical challenge for yourself. Then each day in Advent offers a passage of Scripture from the Psalms, prophets, Gospel writers, or the apostle Paul, along with a reflection and prayer. These tools guide your Advent journey, setting you on a course toward attaining your goals, both physically and spiritually.

These four weeks will:

- focus your heart during a busy season

- inspire you to move bodily as well as spiritually

- prepare you in body and spirit to meet the Christ-child once again
