For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life:
(John 3:16 AMP).
My blog is only 8 months old and I have appreciated all the kind and encouraging comments that many have left. They inspire me to keep writing when ideas come to me.
But it is Christmas and a time to embrace holiday joys with friends and family.
If you could be “here”, we’d sit and share amidst some of the scenes you see below. How nice that would be!
So - from my home ( literally ) to yours - a most
Merry Christmas!
The small carved wooden lamb on the left is a keepsake I purchased
in Bethlehem, the following year. He brings joy each year, too!
The Birthday of the King!
. . .a birthday card from a close friend brings joy. . .
May your holiday be a time of joy.
Thank you for sharing some time here with me!
God bless you!

Hanging the Bethlehem Star!
This precious Nativity set was purchased in Gudadalajara, Mexico
in 1978. I had been asked to join a family I know on their vacation.
I think of that special time often, but especially each year
when I bring out the Nativity set.

In 1990, my Mom painted this oil rendering of
“Father Christmas".
It has been a treasured Christmas item ever since.
After her death in 2001, each family member has had the
opportunity to hang it in their home for a Christmas season.
Now, he is here and ever available to any family member
who wants to have him sparkle for them during the holiday!
May your holiday be a time of joy.
Thank you for sharing some time here with me!
God bless you!
