Isn't it interesting that the true manna from heaven was born in the 'house of bread'? The prefix beth meaning 'house of' and the suffix lehem meaning 'bread'. I love Christmas. I will be a gentler and kinder Christian this next year. If I have something positive to add, I will add it. If not, I will be silent. Bless you my brothers and sisters during this time of year when we remember when Israel in the flesh was born to a peasant Jewish family in the house of bread. Be blessed.

Yes i think its really cool and if i am not mistaken the word Judah means "praise". Its awesome to think that Jesus comes from the "house of bread and praise"
