I love this picture. This is what I see when I walk into our living room. Something about seeing the reflection of our tree in the mirror above the mantel just makes me smile. I totally love it. It makes me feel calm and happy. Sometimes I just stand and look at it....for minutes at a time until my kids will say "what ARE you doing Mom?" This is a start of a very busy week finishing up with last minute baking, shopping and parties. I know I need to stop and remember the reason for the season.
Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's glorious dream in the soul of man.~~~Wilfred A. Peterson
Have a blessed week....I will be back before Christmas Eve......please leave me a comment...I love to read what you have to say!

ReplyDeleteI'm still wrapping, cooking, baking, shopping...lol. I've cut way back on a lot...no candy making this year... and yet I'm even more behind! Bill's surgery set me back quite a bit, I guess. Our BEST gift will be to have him completely healed!
We'll get through Christmas and then keep on celebrating with my birthday...the fun just keeps on going! lol
Blessings to you...Merry Christmas!
