will find rest for your souls."

Dec. 18, 2007~ Christmas Symbols~Evergreen ~
Evergreens symbolizes ...
growth and everlasting life.
If we trust in our Lord wholeheartedly ( our faith in our everlasting God and Lord and His saving grace) our faith should be evergreen in growing in HIS likeness.
Luke 2:52 and 2 Peter 3:17-18
We need to ask ourselves ...
"How can we grow in Jesus?"
" How did Jesus grow ? "
What are some specific ways "we" can grow in His example?
( Luke 2)
~Candles~
We are going to be talking about our homes should be aglow with light over the HOLYdays. ( and in our hearts) Jesus came as a light to the world. Every time we see HOLYday lights, we should think of Christ as our light. I pray this will bring joy in our hearts and BOLDNESS in our witness.
We just read The Legend of the Christmas Tree this morning (read it every year). I think one section that really stood out for my ds1 this time around was the part talking about Martin Luther putting candles on the evergreen tree to symbolize Jesus being the Light of the world.
I love how you have brought the scriptures into your Christmas tree celebration.You did ask me during Chanukah if we also have a Christmas tree and now that my LAST Chanukah post is up I promise to share that with you along with all the other traditions we have for Christmas.
I am so happy for your water situation... I jumped for joy when i read your post.
I decided to take a little brake from baking and house cleaning today, woke up with a terrible headache, so blogging is my reward ;) or should I say my pain killer?
I love your holiday blog look and yes, may we continue to grow in Him.
Love you sister,
Katia
