Christmas is fast approaching and I’m excited. Today I realized how much I’ve been enjoying preparing for it.
I decorated a little more than usual because each time I ran across a treasure in a Christmas bin, I found a place for it.
I’ve had fun setting up little vignettes.
As my Christmas Greeting to you, I’d like to share some of my favorites.
Sometimes I felt playful.


Sometimes Fancy
Sometimes Traditional
I Cooked
Celebrated a Little
And Always
I felt the sweet companionship of the One we honor in this Season of Glad Tidings of Great Joy.
Three of My Favorite Nativities

At My Kitchen Window |
If I don’t get to see you in person before the New Year dawns, I’m sending you
I’m not quite finished with my shopping and wrapping, so I better go now.
The big day is almost here.
Remember,
 |
Yes, you! |
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11 KJV

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.
