"Rooted in Breadcrumbs" - Micah 5:2-5 - (December 18, 2022 - ADVENT 4)

<p>As Hansel and Gretel walked through the woods, they left breadcrumbs to find their way out. &nbsp;It didn't go to well for them. &nbsp;Having journeyed away from home, they got lost in a treacherous forest. &nbsp;The breadcrumbs were their only way out. &nbsp;It was their only link back from where they came. &nbsp;Our life's journey may take us far away from our roots: our family, our friends, our values, our origins. &nbsp;When we realize we are lost, going back to find those roots is sometimes impossible, and it may be too late. &nbsp;Unfortunately, for Hansel and Gretel, the breadcrumbs were eaten and they had no way back. &nbsp;The journey through life for Christians is not any easier. &nbsp;Sometimes we get off track, wander from God, find ourselves questioning even our identity and purpose. &nbsp;But, the breadcrumbs in a Chrsitians life are always there which can lead them back to their roots. &nbsp;Today we discover, or re-discover, how we can get back home.</p>
