I cant imagine Christmas is almost here!!! After all the running and planning and work is done I love sitting at my tree and thinking of the true meaning behind all the hustle which is Christ. This is my favorite holiday because of the gifts of family and friends. Im so lucky to have been blessed with a wonderful family and supportive friends.

As a child I would sit in church and just stare at the manger with the baby Jesus, as an adult the miracle still inspires me.

I want to thank Deedee for her generosity this past year. Once again this scripture digi is from her wonderful collection of art work, go to her blog (see badge on the right) for this beautiful peace digi and an opportunity to visit her store.
