Today is the perfect day to consider Christmas as a snow storm is approaching Michigan. Here in Michigan most of us like a traditional White Christmas. We are preparing for that special day of the year in many ways. The tree is up, outdoor arrangements are finished, presents are being purchased,the Christmas cards ordered and the Christmas letter is written. We have visited the nativity in the park and have attended Christmas concerts, Avalon was here last week!
In all this busyness and frustration with the long lines,computers and printers not working, we can lose sight of the reason we are celebrating. It's time to slow down and read Luke 2 from the Bible or a wonderful book that relays the Christmas events. There are many out there but two I have enjoyed is "Unafraid" by Francine Rivers, an account of Mary, the mother or Christ and "One Incredible Moment" by Max Lucado. So find some time to spend with the Lord of Life and enjoy some peaceful moments.

Hey Fran, While I probably won't have time to read a whole book, we have been doing alot of stories around here about the birth of Christ. It is so fun to hear the kids talk about Jesus's mommy and watch them pretending to have a manger and their bear is Jesus:-) It is the little things they do that help me remember the wonderful miracle that happened.
And, I love that pic of Jack on the sheep, and your tree is beautiful!
