Happy weekend before Christmas!!! And the joy of Christ to you!!!A couple weeks ago, First Baptist Church had their twentieth Living Christmas tree presentation and two friends invited us to the event. I'm so glad we attended! We missed Victoria Leigh being with us this year though. The Salesman enjoyed a version that was done of "Mary Did You Know" almost as much as the original, he said. I loved being with friends and seeing and visiting with many acquaintances ... Read More about For the Love of Lamp Lights – The Living Christmas Tree
Every branch can be used in the kingdom
The last couple of years I've been blessed with the most beautiful greenery from a man who sets up a Christmas tree lot in our town. A couple years ago we bought our live Christmas tree from him.

Do it when it hurts
As I bent down this evening, to place the Christmas tree skirt around the finally-bought-and-decorated-tree and then tie the opening of the skirt together in three bows, I heard the thought while still on my knees:"Do it when it hurts."I've found that GOD thoughts float by and sometimes I grab onto them and other times, unfortunately, I let them pass by. As I tied the last strands of the skirt together and straightened it to the best of my ability before getting up off my knees, the tears ... Read More about Do it when it hurts
