Following in my Father's Footsteps... trying to walk in his shoes...

Glad we don't have to fill our Heavenly Father's shoes... now THAT would be HARD work... make that... impossible!

It is such a beautiful thing. God covering the earth with a blanket of white, fluffy snow to protect and nourish the ground for next year's growing season. It is pleasing to the eyes as we enjoy it from our comfy home but also loads of fun to get out and play in! What a wonderful white Christmas, thank you, Jesus!

Christmas Serenity

Snowy evenings, Christmas tree lights, a smile on my face, memories coming to mind and warmth to my heart... O, how sweet and peaceful the warmth of the flames, how melodic the crackling of the wood. The reminiscing and melancholy of the season brings with it past joys and regrets. A time to remember, be prayerful and be thankful. Thankful for this rest, this time, this comfort, now. Blessed. Loved. Held. Beloved. Jesus come, I invite you into my Christmas season. If only You could be right beside me, sharing in this feeling, fulfilling, completing my comfort and peace. Then a voice, no... an embrace and I remember... He is with me, in me, surrounding all of His children. He is in everything and everything is because of Him. He is holding us, loving us. He is beside us always! Remember, to look for Him, look to Him during this wonderful snip-it of time, He's waiting, He's here with you. In the beautiful tree, that He died on, in the candy cane, which bears His stripes that He bore for us, in the gifts, O how many are the gifts He bestows on us! He's in everything and we can see Him in every Christmas holiday occasion, if we only invite Him in... and remember, Jesus is the reason for everything.

How beautiful He is!

Let us know, let us pursue

the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth

is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain...

Hosea 6:10

Thanksgiving

A full pantry, bank account or cupboards? A clean kitchen? New clothes? Worldly security?

O, how much more important are the hearts and lives of my children! That they be filled with the overflowing abundance of Jesus and His love for them and see that their spiritual well-being is our desired priority as their earthly parents. All else, pales in comparison.

We thank you, dear Jesus for the pleasure and privledge of raising these precious children for You. What an eternal blessing!

Happy Thanksgiving!
