Merry CHRISTmas!

Tonight we took the girls to see the Festival of Lights in a neighboring town. I know every town has that ONE house that does an outstanding job with Christmas lights. But this particular house sets up an outdoor Festival of Lights. they play Christmas music and you can walk through a path in their backyard.

It is truly AMAZING.

It brings back memories from my own childhood. They have truly captured how a child sees Christmas.

"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,and they will call him Immanuel."

Have Faith

After five days of living with the stomach bug in our home, my husband and I decided to take our home back.

We lysoled everything, did several loads of laundr and opened all the windows.

Then we took the girls for a drive.

As we were driving, we drove by one of our local churches and the sign out front simply read:

HAVE FAITH

So few words, but such powerful words.

"Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be taken up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." Mark 11:22-26
