The celebration of the birth of our Savior was the theme during the month of December in our home. We love to read Luke's account of Jesus' birth aloud. Christmas music resounds throughout the house and the aroma of cookies greet loved ones at the door. Much thought is given to those special gifts selected for family and friends and then lovingly tucked under the tree.
A visit to our State Capitol is an annual event...it just isn't Christmas time until you see the huge tree and the hand-carved, life-size Nativity on the grounds of the State Capitol. Laughter and delight filled the air as we enjoyed catching up with extended family and friends during the month of December. One of the sweetest memories will be of a homemade gift package from my niece and her family which consisted of pictures of the kids, stickers, verses, and a donation to a worthy cause in our name!
Paul and I felt blessed beyond measure to have all of our children, along with our new son-in-law, around the table for our Christmas meal. We cherish these special times as a family and we look forward to the Lord's plan for the new year!
Beautiful thoughts and a beautiful table.
