Well, Christmas is finally around the corner and here at the Brown home we Love this time of year. Not just because of all the giving that goes on but for the one true reason. This is the time of year when we really pause and think of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ coming to earth, to save us from our sins. What a blessed day. And what a loving God we serve...
Our Christmas tree represents something special. We wanted the kids to have a symbol for everything that we put on it. So that they can be reminded of the real reason for the season. After all it is so easy to get side tracked with everything else going on.
On our Tree we use Gold ornaments to represent Christ our King, Red ornaments to represent the Blood that he shed on Calvary for our sins, and the candy canes to represent that Christ is our Shepard. And of course represents the cross. We like it to have a little meaning. And I like the traditional look.
The kids and I (Mommy) have been very busy spreading the Christmas cheer. We have been going out caroling with our Church. The Girls (Tatum and Elyssa) are especially enjoying it. You know they LOVE to sing. Little Man (Titus) on the other hand could really care less. Although he likes to be carried from place to place.
As you can see we have welcomed the first real snow of the year here in Fargo North Dakota!!! The Girls like it at first until they realized that it is not going away. They asked me (Mommy) yesterday if it was going to stay and how long it was going to be cold for. Then Tatum said that she wanted to go back to the ocean. So when they were taking their bath the girls were playing that they were swimming in the ocean. They are so funny. It is going to be a long winter. We defiantly have little southern girls. he he he...
We are praying that y'all have a very blessed Christmas season, and that we would stop and remember the real reason for Christmas is our Savior left his throne on high to be born in a lowly manager. All for the love of his creation and to save us from our sins... Praise the Lord for his Mercy and his goodness!!!
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:11
