Advent Tree!

Posted in Family Fun!

We are doing an Jesse tree this year for the first time.   We are loving it, it is truly reminding us of the Hope message of Christ coming to earth.  With all that is going on in the world nowdays it seems doing the tree is even more meaningful to us.  The only true HOPE doesn't come with a bailout, a war, our leaders or anything else the world can offer.  It can ONLY come from Christ-he is our one and true HOPE, the reason we can have eternal life.  This tree reminds us of the journey starting from creation up to Christ birth.  The kids take turn each night putting the ornament on, its great seeing them so exicted.  They can't wait to see what the next one is going to be.   My next Christmas picture in my next entry I will put a picture of it up.

Hey, I wanted to do a Jesse Tree this year too & Paul wasn't so sure...But then he calls "Hey Laura, guess who's doing a Jesse Tree this year too?"...LOL. He saw your blog, and thought it would make a wonderful advent devotional for our whole family...Thank you for blessing us, laura

Love the Christmas music you have here. My son and I are listening to the whole thing! And we made Jesse Tree ornaments last year in co-op. I agree that they are a great way to refocus on Christ and not the material side of Christmas.
