A Nursing Home Christmas in Photos

But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 
Luke 2:19

I am kind of a photo junkie. I both take way too many (Thank God for the digital age!) and I enjoy going through old family photos. I know that in Heaven everything will be made new, but here on earth I treasure these special memories. I especially love Christmas times past, and photos help me remember the sights, sounds, and smells of moments that have slipped by over the years. Christmas time at nursing home is a lot different from ones we have had at home. Read the rest here

His Face I Clearly See

/ pastorpete51 / 5 Comments 

Into creation’s workshop
Before the night and day
God strode onto the scene
And flicked on the sun’s first ray

And paused to smile and sit awhile
As He watched the darkness flee
Then spread out all His many tools
And drew up plans for you and me

Next, God chose an unroofed stable 
Where cows and chickens are
And in the center put a manger
So His Son could see the stars

Now through the long years of my life
That Hope still shines in me
And by starlight from so long ago
His face I clearly see

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:3 ESV

More Christmas Favorites

Just one more day of relatively unknown renditions of the Christmas carols I love. I start today with my all-time favorite God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Annie Moses Band. If you can be patient through the slow opening, this one will definitely get your foot tapping and put a smile on your face by its spectacular end!

For my final Christmas Song offering I give you the incomparable Keith and Kristyn Getty. This is an amazingly beautiful song that gives us pause once again to consider the Holy miracle of the first Christmas. May you be blessed as you travel this road to a day when much of the world remembers if only for a moment, a manger, a Savior and a star. I pray a blessed Christmas season for you all.
