Recapturing the Glory of Christmas

 

Christmas comes year after year. Believers and nonbelievers cannot escape Christmas. Decorated homes, shopping, family get togethers all recognize the Christmas season.

But how many people understand what we are celebrating? The true reason for the season? Our society can coax even Christians away from the glory of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of the Savior.

In Recapturing the Glory of Christmas, R. Albert Mohler has penned a 25 day Advent Devotional that draws you to the true meaning of Christmas. This Biblically sound devotional is well written. Dr. Mohler is a theologian and ordained minister.  A native of Lakeland Florida, he currently serves as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Inspirational, this devotional can be read every year at the beginning of the Christmas season, digging into the depth of the advent season. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Net Galley and the publisher. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Patriot Day

 

Usa, Ground Zero, United States

 "Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew." -- President George W. Bush

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  John 15:13

What is it?

 

When I was young,, I loved to look at the clouds and see different shapes form. Driving home the other day I noticed this cloud. Is it a pig or a dog? What is your guess?

Welcome Autumn

The colors of Autumn are always so warm and inviting.

I also made Pomegranate Iced Tea, as we are still enjoying warm weather here in the south.

 Pomegranates, pears and apples grace the centerpiece.

 The cake plate was painted by my late mother in law.



I hope you will join me in Welcoming Autumn.
