The Christmas Story

It's Christmas Eve and I'm all excited about my favorite Christmas morning tradition.  Every Christmas morning Terry and I snuggle under blankets with mugs of steaming tea and we read the story of Christ's birth.  We pray and give thanks for all of the blessings in our life.  So, on Christmas Eve, here is a slightly more modern digital retelling.

Thankful Thursday #2

This week I'm thankful for...

  • my grandmother's nativity set.  It's carved from olive trees harvested in Bethlehem.

  • playtime with my nephew

  • Christmas ornaments from all the places Terry and I have traveled

  • Terry's vanilla pancakes on a Sunday morning

  • Advent

  • Christmas carols during Sunday morning church service

  • Knowing I pushed as hard as I could in spin class.

  • Sitting by the light of the Christmas tree

  • peppermint hot chocolate

  • online Christmas shopping

  • walking the neighborhood in the misty air


What are you thankful for this week?
