: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
We put our Christmas decorations out this weekend. I really treasure the memories that I get to unpack and remember each year at this time.
“That was our first nativity set. We got it at that little store I worked at when we first got married.”
“My best friend from high school made me that snowman.”
“We got these Christmas plates on our first trip to Disney World.”
It’s an annual trip down memory lane and I love it.
One thing I really do love about Minnesota are the distinctive seasons. On Monday I got to spend the day in Duluth with a friend. Wow! God was really showing off! (Sadly, I didn’t get any really good pictures of the leaves. Sorry!)
I frequently and sincerely thank our Father for his creativity. I mean, He could have made everything black and white, one kind of tree, one season. Thank you, Lord for your goodness to us with these lovely gifts!
In honor of the crisp air and the crisp leaves, I’d like to share some snippets of poetry in printable form with you.
I hope you find something that reminds you to savor this beautiful season.
