I was just reading a friends blog and I thought maybe I should write about Christmas also. Christmas is coming soon and it is not all about the presents and Santa Claus it is about the birth of Christ and humbling himself to be born in a manger which is an animal food dish. We need to always remember all year long.
Have any of you heard of the book "In Search of the True Spirit of Christmas" written by Dan Schaeffer? We have been reading it at a family. It is a very good book about the true meaning of Christmas. We were reading about Him being born in a stable with animals. One thing he mentions is that nobody was allowed to see an infant prince unless you were important but being born in a stable anyone could come and see Him. Are any of you reading a special book about Christmas?
Silent Night
Silent night! holy night! all is calm, all is bright round yon virgin mother and child, Holy infant, so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosta sing alleluia! Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night! holy night! Son of God, loves pure light Radient beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
There is a lot of snow outside and we have the fire in the wood burner is going well and we are keeping warm. I am glad that God made snow to go along with the cold. I am just praying that if you have to drive stay safe. In christ,
I also made a matching bonnet.
I made it out of flannel. I piped the neck, waist band top and bottom, and the cuffs. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
