Housekeeping, homeschooling, laundry, baking, fellowship and the like, are keeping me busy these last few days before Christmas.

Fresh from the oven homemade bagels, a gift for friends...
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable Gift— indescribable, inestimable, incomparable inexpressible - precious beyond words.

As we prepare for our traditional celebrations, let us remember those who will not be looking forward to this festival. Let us remember too how Jesus identified with the oppressed and the homeless. Let the joy of the festival touch more of the people of our world this year than ever before. May God be glorified and may people of good will once again experience His peace.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. ~Ephesians 3:16-20

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Katy! I am so blessed to have found your blog this year. Your posts are always such an inspiration to me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas gift wrapping! I might just have to try that myself! I always hate spending money on fancy gift wrapping paper when it only gets torn up.
Those yummy bagels are on my "to try" list.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

Love the wrapping and the post. I got some brown paper that you wrap boxes to ship and I'm using that for wrapping, red twine, and felt snowflakes to write the to and from. Simple, but so 'me'. :) God Bless you all this season! Sooo sweet about your son giving the house to his grandma!!
