My brother and I memorized Luke 2 when we were little
and would recite it on the Eve of Christmas each year.
It's amazing how Scripture will stick in your heart forever after memorizing it.

Verses that are highlighted in my heart:
"And the glory of the Lord shone round about them."
"I bring you good tidings of great joy"
"For unto you is born this day...a Savior which is Christ the Lord."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts, praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest...and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."
"And the glory of the Lord shone round about them."
"I bring you good tidings of great joy"
"For unto you is born this day...a Savior which is Christ the Lord."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts, praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest...and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."
Titus colored a picture and designed this Popsicle stick Christmas star all by himself which made me smile!
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
I am finishing up last minute holiday tasks that Mamas do:
prep cooking, placing bows on pretty packages, folding Christmas outfits, cleaning our home sweet home, giving out quick hugs to giddy little boys, stacking up Christmas books to read, rushing around on the 23rd, so I can enjoy the 24th and 25th with family. Do I have time for a pedicure??

Our traditional Christmas Morning Sweet Rolls...
And our traditional homemade dinner crescent rolls...
The boys can hardly sleep each night with only a couple days left to count down...
Their favorite Christmas song, which will be played as they fall asleep on Christmas Eve to lullaby them to sleep...
Old Toy Trains
Old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?
Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells
Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think
it's time you were in bed?
May your Christmas Weekend be Merry and Bright.
Be Blessed.

What is your recipe for sweet rolls? Our neighbor made them for us every year growing up. I now need to find a recipe so I can carry on the tradition.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading in Luke this week just to remind my heart of all the wonderful details of our saviours birth:>) Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family Lisa! Having wide eyed children to anticipate the fun makes Christmas the most joyful day of the year!
ReplyDeletewhat an entirely sweet entry. :)
ReplyDeleteI suggested to my daughter, 10, to memorize this! I hope she does by Christmas Eve where we will read it and have the kids play Christmas hymns on the piano and their instruments. Luke 2 is so beatiful and yet so simple. Joni
