It's Christmas Eve

Were tucked away inside our home as the falling snow dances outside our window.  Children are sledding down the hill by our house and our doggies are having fun watching & barking at them.   We are listening to Christmas music as we enjoy this wonderful scene.

Yesterday I was surprised at a very special gift from my friend Karlene:

   

This wonderful arrangment is from Maxine's Floral and Gifts.  Isn't it special when a friend knows exactly what you like?   It will look great on my dining room table for Christmas dinner.  

Christmas Eve has always been treasured  day in our house.  I love waking up on Christmas Eve morning and realizing that this special day is here.  I am very sentimental about the day before Christmas.................a special time to reflect on this wonderful time of year.

A time when a baby was born in a manger in Bethlehem. 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish.

Titus 3:4-7
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

May we take time to reflect on God's greatest gift to the world so that we may have eternal life.  The birth of our Savior, The Messiah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords-Baby Jesus born in a manger in Bethlehem.
