I hope and pray that each one of you has a blessed Christmas season.  I will be taking a break from blogging (I will still visit your sites though and check messages), and  will be back after the holidays are over.  I hope that as you listen to “Silent Night” and look at the pictures that you will remember that you are special and loved very much.  God gave His Son for you!  Only true LOVE could do that.  May you think of Jesus much during the next few weeks, and find some quiet moments to meditate on His earthly ministry and great sacrifice on the cross during the hustle and bustle of the season.

Merry Christmas!

  32. We’ve down scaled, gradually, how we celebrate each year and this year will be the most simple ever in order to spend time meditating on Him and what our family means to us. This was a beautiful “taking a break” post and I look forwarding to “seeing” you in a few weeks! Be blessed, dear friend!
