A few of my favorite Christmas things…

It’s Friday, I just feel like talking about some of my favorite things…

Waking up before everyone else in the house, plugging in the Christmas tree, and reading my bible. Did I mention, my fabulous blogging friend, Rebecca from 2heartsdesire.com gave me this amazing coloring illustrated bible? I’ve been reading from it in the quiet of the morning and then later in the day I read it to my girls and they color some in it for me.

There is just something calm and quieting about a Christmas tree. Since I was a little girl, I’ve felt this way.

It’s like I can feel the peace and calm of the very night Christ was born when I’m sitting in a quiet room with a shinning Christmas tree.

Am I alone in this? Do you feel it too, friends? I’m sure it’s the nostalgia of the story of Christmas. I’m talking about the first Christmas. The reason we are sitting in a room with a tree indoors anyways.

Looking at the tree makes me ponder the story.

The manger.

Mary.

The Holy Spirit.

The baby. The King.

The Lord of Lords, lying there, humble and beautiful and perfect. I seriously could go on and on. ( And I hope to send out some devotions during the next few weeks, so be on the lookout).

Another must- have for my early morning “Christmas Tree Devotions,” (as I’ve named them 🙂 is a Christmas song streaming in through my headphones. Here’s my number one favorite. You have GOT to give it a listen, friends!

>>>>>Last, of course is the big stack of Refocused Bible Study books on my shelf that I’ve started mailing and handing out. >>>>>>

Grab one for you and a friend, I promise, you will LOVE it!
