Here are some photos of Christmas trees the Life Groups from our church decorated. The trees are then displayed at our annual Christmas dinner. It's fun!

Good Morning Christmas Blessings!
I love gifs. Especially cheerful gifs like this one. Good Morning and Christmas Blessings. Hot cocoa in a pretty pink cup that sits on a plate with cookies...probably cookies that will also be given to Santa on Christmas. And look! A pretty little blue butterfly fluttering it's wings and enjoying the Christmas tree cup brim cookie. Glimmery and happiness. That's the life I Love for my family!

Christmas Santa 1900
In 71 days Santa will be heading out in his sleigh delivering Christmas gifts! Who's going to wait up and see if they will see Santa putting gifts under the tree and eating those delicious cookies so lovingly baked by you, my beautiful grandchildren. ❤💙💖💚💗
What kind of cookies are you baking this year, 2020, for Santa?

Good Morning Believers!
Christmas, for me, is a time when my heart opens up and hope gets to slip in and make itself a home for eternity. With that hope comes belief. Belief in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Belief in humans.
That with every generous action, which abounds during Christmas, with every baked cookie, with every craft created with love and something of oneself goes into that craft, humankind gets closer and closer to Jesus our LORD and SAVIOR.
Those thoughts lift my spirits and my heart happy.

Christmas is in the Air!
“It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.” ~ W.T. Ellis
Have you gotten the Christmas joyful spirit in you yet? I have! And I always do most Christmases but this year especially so.
With everything that's going on in America you would think I would be down in the dumps. So why? Why do I feel so excited at the thought of Christmas this year?
It is because I believe and have faith in Jesus. I believe that everything is going to work out for the good for us.
Looking at Christmas gifs, photos, listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies lifts my spirits. Makes me happy!
As does Jesus! Without Jesus and what he did on the cross for us, there would be no hope. I Love You Jesus! I'm so thankful you are here with us!

It's Christmas! Believe!
Do you believe in Santa Claus? Jolly ole St. Nicolas? I love the thought of Santa Claus and someday, when I'm not encased in this skin, I hope to meet him and Mrs. Claus at the North Pole.
I hope to sit by a fireplace with them, sitting on a comfortable rocking chair, talking, laughing and enjoying a nice warm cup of hot cocoa or coffee or tea. Whatever suits our fancy.
I believe in that which we cannot see with our eyes. I believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus is King and he is coming soon.
Do you believe?

Wishing everyone a jovial day all year round 99/1
The Spirit of Love Joy Giving
In every heart there is the Spirit of Love, Joy, and Giving that beams during the Christmas 🎄 Holidays. Galatians 5:22-23

A Nostalgic Christmas Movie - Christmas Comes But Once A Year
Christmas Comes But Once A Year is a movie that shows the true spirit of Christmas...giving. But also shows the not so nice side of Christmas giving that's not from the heart. Very uplifting! Get your popcorn ready!

Some Fun Things You Can Do With Your Children During The Christmas Holidays
My grandchildren love slime and they love it even more when they make it with mommy.
2020 is a very special year filled with lots of love and hope. There is so much we can do with our children spending quality time with them making things laughing and even drinking hot cocoa while crafting.
I see only Light. Only God.
Here are a couple of ideas to do with your children during the Christmas Holidays! Enjoy!
Making Christmas Slime
This is a video on some really pretty Christmas slime ideas. I love the colors! My favorites are the green. It looks like a Christmas tree. The blue. It looks like a winter scene. The red and white candy cane slime.
Thank you to Karina Garcia. You can check out her YouTube channel for other great ideas.
Home made wrapping paper
This is a fun craft I did with my grandchildren.
It's super easy and requires hardly any money.
I saved paper bags I got from the grocery stores.
Used white, green, and red paint.
I just let them put their hands on paint then put their imprint on the paper.
I love home made and handcrafted.
This is what they used to wrap mommy and daddy's presents.
Fun. Messy kind of. Super easy.
They LOVED it!
Make a gingerbread house
My grandbabies love their sweets so making a gingerbread house was fun and the anticipation of eating it afterwards was just as fun.
In today's world we live in baking is time consuming so if you don't have the time you can buy gingerbread house kits.
This one I just so happened to win at our church Christmas party.
Here you can see my grandbabies digging in! Especially the candy LOL!
I hope this helps to inspire you with ideas for things that you can do with your children during the Christmas Holiday Season!
Christmas Is A Time To Celebrate and For Giving
I keep singing this song in my head. We don't feed the geese anymore in preparation for Christmas meal but we are called to give. This song calls for people to celebrate, be merry and of good cheer but don't forget to give.

I'm praying that today you have a day filled with such peace and joy that you think you are in heaven already!
What is your favorite coffee?
Mine's is vanilla macademia nut.
As an adult I would prefer to leave coffee for Santa.
But my grandchildren prefer to leave...
Here is a short video of my grandchildren
