Messiah's Mansion tour

Messiah's Mansion was in Savannah, Georgia, a couple weeks ago, and we decided to tag along with my grandparents to tour it. It is a model of the traveling wilderness temple built by Moses and the Israelites. I learned a lot of history about the ancient temples and symbols of the sanctuary. Our tour guide's presentation was jam packed with scripture, and I love that Belle recognized so many of the passages. She also made some parallels to the timeline she is memorizing and recent Sunday School lessons. It was a rather hot day, but worth the trip and memories. Since no one volunteered to hold the sacrificial lamb, Belle ended up with the role. As a result, sacrifice has been a hot topic lately. Isaiah 53:5 "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed."



Stinker did come along for the tour, but he ended up spending most of his time with Grandma at the playground he found.
