Our
Hallmark Holiday
Walking down Main Street of a
neighboring town tonight, we were surrounded by friends and neighbors following
the shepherds to greet the “New Born King.”
It was magical… a memory made that I thought only happened on
Television. But it was real and it was a
gift- the first gift of Christmas and the only gift that matters- Jesus
Christ.
Music filled the air as the
Count Down began and the small park was illuminated while the crowd joined in singing Christmas Carols-
Silent Night, Joy to the World, and Away in a Manger- A wondrous way to welcome
Christmas.
That was the plan -usher in
the holidays with the true meaning. So
we took the ride, we bundled up and we rejoiced- we remembered!
The Holiday Season warms us
with memories—they come with hot chocolate, cut Christmas trees, warm homemade
rolls, delicious, mashed potatoes, fresh baked pie, and don’t forget the fudge.
Rigby and I enjoyed our
Thanksgiving Break with our “Fab Five.”
We played and worked. They will
say we worked more. However, years from
now when are gone- hopefully, prayerfully, we pray they will remember the
procession to see the baby Jesus. We pray that they will live their lives so as
to return to him- that they will take the journey- that they will remember.
Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays from Barnwood and Tulips!

Look how happy this makes him... not sure if being out on the ice on a lake that is not completely frozen is the best idea though. Thankfully, his adventure ended safely! |
Don't forget to stop and enjoy the sunset this holiday season. Heavenly Father is certainly a marvelous creator! Each day he creates the sunrise to show us his love and then at night he lights the horizon. I think its his way of hugging us every day... This sunset was the perfect way to end our Thanksgiving Holiday!
