I Love Christmas

 Decorating 'all over the place' just isn't in me anymore.  When the family was young there was Christmas in every room  A lot of work but so worth it to see happy faces on my children and then as the years went by, my grandchildren. 

 

Yes, Christmas has certainly changed a lot for me and Mr D.  It's still wonderful, just different.  We have a tree, my nativities and maybe some lights here and there.  I love the glow of Christmas lights and will always have them around me at Christmas!
 

The Santa Claus collection stays in the box and the Snowman collection does too.  I wonder if they miss me like I miss them. ~sigh~

 

The wreath will be on the door and the reindeer will be in the yard and maybe one Santa will be at the door to greet friends and family.

 

I could decorate as much I did in years past, but truth be known, I don't want to and I don't have to!  My grandchildren are mostly grown and my girls all have beautiful homes with decorations all over the place. I am happy to let them have it all and I get to go to their house!!  Awww..life is good!

The family will be here for our Christmas Family Get-Together the Sunday before Christmas!  We'll eat and talk and remember the Christ Child, we'll play music and games and remember the Child born in a manger long ago, we'll set around the tree and exchange gifts and remember the best Gift of all,
Jesus!

 

It's gonna be a fantastic Christmas!

Does 1979 Count as Vintage?

Today I'm joining
Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday

 

So, I was thinking......what do I have that's Christmasy and vintage....and that's not packed up!!

Went searching through Christmas photos from past years and found this..

 

 

Does 1979 count as vintage?  Well, maybe almost!!

The cute plate on the right was made by my daughter Peggy in 1979.  I love setting it out each year, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it.

What's in a Day?

Today's post is taken from chapter three of:

The Six Days of Genesis

By: Paul F. Taylor

 

A significant issue of day one is the length of a day.

How long was a day? There are many different viewpoints to consider.

Paul Taylor has reached the conclusion that the days of creation are six literal 24-hour periods of time.

( I have listened to many respected teachers talk on this subject, all making valid points for their view. I am always open to learn more. I really don‘t know which view is correct, I just know God created the universe.)

According to the author the most frequent response he gets when he says that the universe was made in six days is, ‘Ah, but a day is like a thousand years.’ This is a quote from the Bible. 2 Peter 3:8 states, “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand year, and a thousand years as one day.”

But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

2 Peter 3:8

The only way of understanding this seems to be that Peter is saying that time is immaterial to God. He can do a thousand years worth of work in one day, yet a real thousand years seems to be only a day to Him.

He can do a thousand years of work in one day…
