Sweet Times

That Night

It wasn't silent.  It wasn't calm.  Or clean.  Or easy.  Young girl.  Dirty cave full of moldy straw and animals.  Their noise, her noise.  

Young girl.  No midwife.  No familiar female face for advice.  Just the knowledge that she was chosen.

Then the noise of a baby.  It was beautiful.  It was sweet.  

God entered the world in an unusual, beautiful, humble way.  

Please take the next two weeks and focus on this beauty.  Let it fill your mind and heart in preparation for Christmas morn.  Remember the Child that came for you.

Simple, Beautiful, Small::His Room

This is the only decoration I put in Mr. Noah's room.  A simple white tree with red-and-white felt garland I stitched up at the machine.  He's thrilled.

Simple, Beautiful, Small::The Mantle

Simple, Beautiful, Small::The Jesse Tree

Humble and gentle, the Jesse Tree is a simple reminder that God has always loved us, and, even from the very beginning, had a plan to save His children.  Twigs and hand stitched ornaments are a daily reminder during the month of December of the One who was born to free us from the bondage of sin.
