Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas...part 2

Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas....

 

Sometimes our hearts don't feel ready for Christmas. Perhaps life

has changed for us in some way...the loss of a loved one, a relocation,

a divorce, health or financial issues...

I just wanted to reach out and post a few suggestions that help me, and maybe

will help someone else too.

• focus on the Reason for the Season...Jesus

In order to do that perhaps write down a few reasons why it's important to you

that Jesus came...keep your list and look at it periodically through the season...

• Read the Christmas story in Luke 2. Maybe read it a few times over the

course of the season. Underline some key phrases that are meaningful to you.

• Turn on the Christmas music! Maybe while you're in the car...or cleaning the

kitchen...Sometimes I even sing to them! 

• If you can, get outside and just find the wonder in God's Creation...even look out your window to see His Glory there....Pray and thank Him for it!

• If you are able to, and like to bake, make treats for your neighbors and take with a card and a gospel tract.

• One of my favorite ways to prepare my heart for Christmas is to shop the Samaritan's Purse Catalog for giving. It's the highlight of my Christmas! Find some way to give, it doesn't matter how much! If you can't give financially, offer your time to help a friend-even talking to them on the phone to encourage them. Espcially someone who is bed ridden, or just faced a life change.

May your heart be filled with the love of God and the birth of His Son during this Christmas season.

In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Give me Jesus

And when I am alone
Oh and when I am alone
And when I am alone
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Give me Jesus

And when I come to die
Oh and when I come to die
And when I come to die
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
You can have all this world
You can have all this world
But give me Jesus

My Hope....JESUS

The Reason

What Kind of Christmas Do You Want?

The Perfect Gift

Redemption Draweth Nigh

Things in our country and even our world seem to be spiraling, don't they?
Just a reminder that if you know Jesus as Savior (and if you don't, or don't
know what that means CLICK HERE) that this is all temporary, and leading
up to His return!
It brought this song to mind-I hope the words bring you comfort!

Years of time have come and gone
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today

Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh

Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills the land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend

Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh

Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh

Well, this Sunday is Easter already!

My husband and I prefer Resurrection Sunday :)

Just thought I'd share a few of our decorations with you...

We went to the Dollar Tree and found these cute glitter eggs.

Bri and I put ribbons on them and hung them from

our white valance in the living room.

These decorations below have been

around since my kids were "littles".

They loved to decorate this little tree :)

I got the cross below at the Dollar Tree a

couple of years ago, it's one of my favorites.

My son Brad put this together several

years ago, and it hangs in a special place in the

living room.

I found the egg holders and eggs below at the Cracker Barrel.

I found the little Happy Easter sign at Home Goods this year.

These are "oldies" too :)

I hope you have a blessed Resurrection Day, remembering

that He is Risen!

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matt. 28:6

*************************************************

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:34

Spring Centerpieces and Easter Gardens

You can also insert easter grass in the bottom in whatever
color you want to highlight. That would also take
up some of the space and you wouldn't need so many
eggs.

You could use plastic eggs for this -they used real...

be just the idea you are looking for!

*Just remember to keep the garden in a warm location with lots of sunlight and give
 it plenty of water every day.
