A Peaceful Evening

It's oh, so peaceful.
Little boys eyes closed in their beds.
Mommy under a fleece throw 

stringing popcorn for the tree.
Daddy studying diligently

for a final exam in the morning. 

 All is quiet,

tree lights twinkle,

candles burn,

music softly celebrates Christ's birth.

A peaceful evening 

in the midst of whirling December.

No Time for Blogging

Is anyone else's December whirling by in craziness? Wow! It's all good craziness, but there's definitely not much time left for blogging!

Hope you're enjoying being in the midst of this amazing season! :)

"C" is for the Christ Child

When I was but a young child,
Christmas meant one thing
that I'd be getting lots of toys and games.
But I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell Christmas this way --

"C" is for the Christ-child, born on Christmas Day.
"H" for Herald Angels in the night.
"R" means Our Redeemer,
"I" means Israel.
"S" is for the Star that shone so bright.
"T" is for Three Wise-men, they who traveled far.
"M" is for the Manger where He lay.
"A" is All He stands for.
"S" means Shepherds came,

and that's why there's a Christmas Day.


Our boys will be singing this with their friends during our church's Christmas program in two weeks.  I'm so thankful for faithful teachers and leaders who give of their time and hearts for my children! We are so blessed!
