As the Christmas season is approaching, I have been listening to my Christmas music. One of the songs that I listened to today was “Follow the Star” by Point of Grace and Clay Cross.

As you listen to the music, ponder the words (listed below the video)…

O, winter night of wonder – night of promise long foretold
When angel voices filled the heavens high above
Announced the joy of the ages and His glory to behold
For into this world is born the wondrous Child of Love
O, star of hope that leads us to His manger
Shine your light upon the newborn King
For all who seek to find new life
Make a gift of your heart
And follow the star
To hear the song that heaven sings
Like the wise men of old
Come follow the star
They laid their gifts before Him on that night so long ago
Stood in His presence every pilgrim great and small
To worship at His manger is to kneel before His throne
Laying our burdens down the greatest gift of all
O, star divine that brings us to our Savior
Give the light of love to show us our way
In place of gold lay down your life
In place of frankincense and myrrh
Abandon all

I pray that through this Christmas season that the story of Jesus’ birth will become real to you and that you would recognize what it meant for God to step down out of heaven to save you and me!
God gave us such a wonderful gift of his Son. And it was just that…a gift. There was nothing we did to deserve such a gift. And the best thing is that we get to celebrate His birth at this time of year.

May you all have a Blessed Christmas Season!!

The weather in my neck of the woods:

COLD!!!  Currently 15 degrees…but if you factor in the Wind-chill, it’s 1 degree!!  And there are flurries!  The high is supposed to reach something like 23 degrees!

Things that make me happy:

This weekend spending time with family and watching all 4 of my boys in the Christmas program!  Michael had a reading part (narrator), Daniel and Andrew sang a Duet, and Noah had a solo!  My boys did a great job!

Book(s) I’m reading:

Besides the Bible…not sure.  I just finished my last book (Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis)…not sure what I’ll read next!

What I’m enjoying on TV:

Right now…nothing!  I have a quiet house…all the boys are in class, so I’m keeping it quiet!

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:

Still haven’t tried any Truffles…want to do that soon.  I’m getting the itch to start making desserts/candies for Christmas, so we’ll see!

On the Menu for dinner:

Thinking Chicken Legs (they were on sale at the store this weekend), but I’m not quite sure how I’ll prepare them yet.  I usually grill them with BBQ sauce, but I’m not going to stand outside in this cold weather trying to do that!!

On my To Do List:

Preparation for Friday’s 31:30 meeting (31:30 is our Women’s Ministry name…it’s from Proverbs 31:30)

In the Craft Basket:

I have some things I need to make for Christmas…not going to say for fear those people will be reading this! LOL

Looking forward to this week:

Get together for our Tuesday Night Bible Study…our Wednesday Night Bible Study here at the house…and the 31:30 meeting on Friday!

Tips and Tricks:

Hmmm…not sure I have any this week!

Never walk through the living room when Kevin and the dog are playing…that dog about took me out!! LOL

On my Prayer list/things on my mind:

Mom and her job…they’ve been laying off a lot of her friends from work.  And my niece Kierstin who has been sick.

Devotionals, scripture reading, key verses:
