Christmas Tree!

I finally decorated for Christmas! I almost didn't do it, 

but Marcus really REALLY wanted our tree up, like Grandma! 

I'm always glad I did it once I do, it's just the getting it all out and putting it all 

away that's the hassle! And now the fun begins with Matthias trying to bat the 

balls off the tree and grab everything he can reach. What a great training tool right. . . . :-)

As I look at my finished tree, I'm forced to remember the tree upon which my 

Savior was crucified. I'm brought to the foot of the cross realizing that Jesus

knew when He came that He was born into this sinful wicked world to DIE! 

Thank you JESUS for paying for my sin on an old rugged Cross. Thank you

for paving the way to eternity . . . I'm so grateful for your gift.
