The Wonders Of Christmas

~ Christmas, Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Merry Monday! It is only five sleeps until Christmas Day. Is it just me or do you feel like Christmas arrived rather quickly? Thanks for stopping by our final Monday Morning Blooms for 2021. Join me as we experience the wonders of Christmas! 

“And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭

As we celebrate Christmas this Saturday, may we not forget that the greatest Gift ever given was not found under a tree, but in a lowly manger. On that night so long ago, there was no room in the inn for the King of Kings. Little has changed in the past two thousand years.

In a manger in Bethlehem, there lies a stranger in a foreign land.
Heaven’s joy in a manger makes my heart sing.
Holy Love in a manger, Christ the King!
~Butch Richardson

In the stillness of the early morning, I love the peace and quiet as I gaze at the twinkling lights!READ MORE

‘Tis The Season

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬

Merry Greetings sweet friends. Can you believe it is eleven sleeps until Christmas? A friend and fellow blogger shared a little Dr. Seuss wisdom that I will share with you.

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness, how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? -Dr. Seuss

‘Tis the season when my sweet husband that I call Renaissance Man and Head Gardener does most of our outside Christmas decorating. 

Our kitchen porch doesn’t change much from year to year. The fresh garland is a mainstay!READ MORE
