I love this time of year! The frost on the trees, beautiful decorations, an overwhelming feeling of anticipation and expectancy. There are so many fun ways to prepare our hearts for celebrating Christmas. I love lighting candles on the advent wreath and doing nightly readings with my family, and the Jesse Tree.....the kids love putting the small pictures on the tree and listening to the progression of the greatest birthday ever celebrated. What is your favorite traditions? I would love to hear about them!
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him -
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the LORD
Isaiah 11: 1-2
Thank you Daddy for these wonderful times of preparation and anticipation. Thank you that our times with you can be enriched by beautiful tradition. Help me to remain peaceful and focused as we prepare as a family to honor Jesus for all He came to earth to accomplish!
