I just love it when one of our daughters calls and wants to meet us for lunch.
We enjoyed a great lunch and precious fellowship with Peggy and Hank. These pictures were taken at their son's wedding a few years ago.
Although I love Christmas, I didn't do much decorating this year. Our oldest daughter is hosting our family Christmas, her home is big and she always has it decorated so nice.
Sharing Christmas with family and friends is so special, love is in the air. I believe that's because Christ is Love.
When I saw this star on Amazon I knew I had found the Star of Bethlehem for my nativity. Learn more about the Star of Bethlehem here.
Luke 2:7
I was advised by my doctor to stay away from crowded public places during the flu season. I've tried to comply and for the most part I have obeyed his advice, but I still have a life to live and I do get out for special occasions.
I find so much to do right here at home, I try not to sit idle.
One thing I'm doing is reading one chapter of Luke each day. There are 24 chapters leading right up to Christmas Eve. It's a beautiful book about the life of Christ, such an enjoyable read, very special for this time of year.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The great grands all dressed up for a Christmas party, they are so excited about Christmas. Except Merica, I don't think she fully understands it all yet. I'm so thankful these girls are being taught the true meaning of Christmas.
Isaiah 9:6
It's a special time to celebrate the birth of our risen Savior.
Until Next Time
Merry Christmas
