Christmas 1977
Christmas 2017
Christmas in 1977 was before we had any children and Christmas 2017 was our first Christmas with a granddaughter. Forty years of Christmases. Some merrier than others but all enjoying the benefits of God’s saving grace in our lives.
Merry Christmas to each and every one of you who faithfully check in to see what’s up in my corner of the world. I thank God for you and am grateful for the chance to get to know you via your blogs. I’ll be back after Christmas when…
The Christmas stockings are emptied.
The boxes and gift wrap are all recycled.
The Breakfast Swedish Pancakes are devoured.
The Christmas Music plays on my new 6cd changer.
The Christmas Prime Rib Roast is prepared and eaten with all the trimmings.
The Christmas Crackers are popped.
The Christmas photos are taken.
The Christmas dishes are washed and put away until next Christmas.
The Christmas gifts are enjoyed.
And we continue to worship and adore our Savior, the Savior of the world all year long. God with us, Emmanuel. “Blessed art thou, O Lord.”
