Sunday Morning - Christmas Blessings

 I wish I could send each of you a

handwritten

Christmas Card.

JOY!

Sharing Christmas in such

a personal way

would be such a

Blessing.

Since that isn't a reality

I'm sending 

YOU

warm wishes

"My Heart's Song"

Merry Christmas to All!

Numbers 6: 24-26

‘May the Lord bless and protect you; 

may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; 

may he be gracious to you, 

show you his favor, 

and give you his peace.’

Blessings, Sweet Friends. 

Chewy Gingerbread Cookies - A Yummy Recipe

Yesterday, 

I told you I wanted to bake something 

Gingerbread

and I did.

This recipe makes about 36 cookies ... and they're Yummy!

(Original Recipe)

These Gingerbread Cookies have the spicy flavor you expect, 

only they are soft and chewy.

 ...

They go well with Coffee.

Enjoying the Season

and hope

you are too!

Blessings, Sweet Friends.

PS:  These Cookies passed the Mom and Buzz test...They Loved Them!

  

Christmas Decorating - Old & Familiar

The old and familiar

are 

making our home feel like Christmas.

With our smaller space, we don't go Full Blown

like we did when our kids were small,

but as Buzz says,

 it still

 "Looks Like Us". 

JOY!

Now, all I need to do is bake some gingerbread.  :)

Finding JOY in the journey!

Christmas - A Season of Rejoicing & Reflection

Rejoicing

We're preparing for Christmas at our house, and this one is 
extra special because my Mother is with us.

Through the years, her incredible example has been 

the guiding light for our family.

Strength and Honor are her clothing ... Proverbs 31:25

(Graphic by My Heart's Song ...Using Graphic from"The Graphics Fairy"

Reflection

Her relationship with God is 

personal

genuine

and

true

Of her, it will be said - 

"well done, good and faithful servant ... 

come and share your master's happiness!"   

Matthew 25:21

She not only knows about Him, she knows Him personally,

and the sobering words from Matthew 7:23 

will never cross her ears.

...

Matthew 7:21-23 (TLB)

 “Not all who sound religious are really godly people....

 At the Judgment, many will tell me, ‘Lord, Lord, we told others about you 

and used your name to cast out demons and to do many other great miracles.’ 

 But I will reply, ‘You have never been mine. Go away, for your deeds are evil.’

As we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas

will you join us in not only Knowing about Him,

but Knowing Him in a real and personal way;

just like my Mother.

TRUE JOY!
