Baaa! Baaa!

The children will be treating us to a special Christmas edition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" including song, scripture memorization and drama. Come be inspired and blessed by the allegory found in the simple children's poem. We think what you hear might surprise you!

The first presentation will be Sunday the 18th of December at 11am and will be followed by a special pot-luck Christmas Dinner.

The second presentation will be Sunday the 25th at 4pm. This will be our only service on Christmas Sunday. We pray that you will use Christmas Sunday morning as a special family time and be sure to worship the Christ of Christmas together.

We welcome you to join us for all of these exciting events celebrating the greatest gift of the season ~ The Newborn King!

We found that we needed a lamb for the program and in case you didn't know....they are hard to find and expensive if you do find them. I used Kammy's horse, Pumpkin Pie and made him into a "horse in sheep's clothing." I think he will do just fine.

My Kammy LOVES marshmallows, so when I saw the recipe for peppermint ones on pinterest, I thought it would be fun to make some for and with her. They were fun to make, are pretty, and I think they taste better than the plain store-bought ones (which I don't care for at all.) Turns out Kammy likes the store-bought ones better! :)

Promises

I have been thinking of some of the promises God has given me, promises of which I have not yet seen the fulfillment. I am thinking too, of how long the world lay in darkness before the SON was born - before the fulfillment of the greatest promise ever given. All of this causes me to think that I can wait a little longer, and I know that "when the fullness of time is come," it will be well worth the wait!

The Blessings

Many years ago a young newly-wed-ish couple bought their first Christmas CD's. They didn't have a lot of money, so they chose one of those (used to be) two for $10 deals at the local Walmart. One was Kenny G and the other "Alabama Christmas." We have enjoyed both CD's through the years and have added to the collection along the way. This however, remains one of my favorites...even though when you really think about it, it does not sound like a Christmas song at all.
I do think a lot about my blessings this time of year though. Hubby helped me put this together using some of our "special" pictures. It is made mostly from his perspective since it is a male voice singing, but I am the one who is really blessed!
