Ohhhh Merry Christmas, dear friends!!
Ohhhh Happy Christmas Eve to you all!!! or Y'all...as they say here in Texas!! :) We are knee-deep in Christmas preparations!! If you are in the other side of the world, you are enjoying Christmas with your family (hopefully!! :) ) If not, consider us your family and join us in singing PRAISES to God; Gloria in Excelsis Deo!!
In honor of the Angel who proclaimed Jesus' birth and the Angels who sang out Gloria, I have a sweet angel ornament for you today!!
Scripture says this in Luke 2:8-20:
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
Ohhhhh, we are praising God today with the angels!! (and tonight and definitely tomorrow!!)
Here is your giftie today!

Happy 21st of December!! Today is one of my fave days because it is my anniversary!! Mr Gorgeous and I have been married 18 years today. Ohhh I had a beautiful Christmas wedding. It was gorgeous...I just have to show off a little of it...(don't forget, you can click to see the LO bigger!!)

Happy Anniversary, Mr Gorgeous!! :)
Here's a fun fact for ya...I made the papers for the first (Christmas Bride) and the last LOs (you + me = forever) here. Leave me a comment in this post and I'll send you a link for those papers tomorrow!!!
On to the fun Christmas gifties!! Today's giftie is a set of WA that is near and dear to my heart, too! This is one of my fave scriptures of ALL TIME!!! Isaiah was a prophet who made nearly 300 prophecies about the birth of Jesus. Our pastor told us on Sunday that if you take only EIGHT of those 300 prophecies, the odds of finding one person to fit all of those prophecies was 10 to the power of 17. Now what does that mean, he continues...That means if you laid silver dollars down side by side in the whole land area of the state of Texas, you'd cover the entire state of Texas two feet deep with silver dollars!! Then you mark just ONE of those silver dollars, threw it in that stack (omgoodness...are you following this???? crazy!!), mixed up the entire stack, then reached down and picked one up, the odds of finding the marked one would be 10 to the 17th power!!! (my little brain said...that's just 8 of those 300 prophecies!!) Boy, did God point the way to Jesus or what?? Anyway, after all of that math and stuff, I'm sure you are ready for the word art!
Here is a preview of day 8:
enjoy and Merry Christmas!!
Merry 5 days until Christmas!!! Sundays are special around here because we get to go to church and worship the One who came down as a newborn baby to save us!! My favorite name of God is Emmanuel, "God with us". That is such a comforting thought...(comfort and joy - it's awesome!!!) And what better time is there than now to give Him the glory and praise He deserves????

Isnt' this fun??? I am just loving this season of Peace and Love!! And today, my giftie to you is such a fun little mini quilt! I created this after being duly inspired by this awesome movie that we saw in church on Sunday. It's called the Star of Bethlehem, and it's an incredible treatise about the actual historical and scientific origin of the Star...was it a myth or was it real? Here is the web site which goes into even more depth than the movie. Fantastic reading!!
And here is your wonderful giftie today!! I look forward to seeing your LOs with these fun little designs! Leave me a link so I can leave you some love!! :)
Here's your preview of today's freebie!!
Ohhh I am just having a wonderful time passing out my Christmas cheer!! I hope this blesses you...Merry Christmas!!
