Things that are blessing me this Christmas...


The colors of the season here in Florida!  This is on our daily neighborhood walk...


Christmas can leave us all harried, but what do you do to capture some quiet moments, meditate on what matters?

Time slows, I can embrace where I am and drink in joy....because of these gifts from God...

Ann Voskamp Jesse Tree Advent Readings

Pandora Christmas stations--cheap membership to get ad-free listening!

This chai mix and this hot cocoa mix (Costco has the best price...)

I won't rub it in too much, but it has been in the mid-70s and 80s down here.
Genres Bible reading plan

Free tickets to the Getty concert!

reading in the evening on our new couch  (with a cup of that chai or hot cocoa above...)

staying away from Walmart on the weekends

taking the long way to work, and back

walking around the neighborhood with my hubby... and trying to avoid the bears (unlike my sis-in-law who was looking for them :)

family coming soon! and finding the perfect gift for the Perry family gift exchange

fellowship with dear friends  (you know who you are! :)

dancing a jig with the worship team here

my husband, who does not have expectations for me (except that I cook with plenty of beans!  :)

this video that we haven't finished (like I said, the past few days have been crazy)...but the first half was so special!

and taking a deep breath because it will all slow down in a few days (praise the Lord for three weeks off!)

I hope to post at least once more before Christmas, but if Christmas cards get the best of me....

Have a delightfully rich and meaningful Christmas and New Year!

Ruth
