Christmas, ah! Tis the season to be JOLLY.....it is a time for us to
remember & celebrate the birth of Jesus our Savior. Really, isn't
it amazing that Jesus left His kingly throne and came down to earth to
be clothed in our human flesh. To walk as a man, to feel what we feel,
to experience all the struggles that you and I would ever face in our
lifetime...wow, to show us how to live our life by following his
example. Then to know that he took upon himself our sins, the sins of
the whole world that we could be reconciled back to the Father by
accepting Him. I mean that is a reason to celebrate! That is the best
love story ever played out.
When my kids were small
they would get up on Christmas morning excited to see what they had
received under the tree. But before any presents were unwrapped we would
sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and read the bible story of His precious
birth and thank him for his sacrifice. It was a tradition in our home
to remember and to celebrate the true meaning of CHRISTmas!
Boy do I miss those days.
I know this blog is brand new but if anyone out their in blog land lands here I would love to hear your family traditions.

Peace I leave with you: my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

The manger scene figurines were originally all Terra-cotta so years

that ever time consuming but soooo worth it! Now it is one of a kind. |
