December Snow : 1000 Gifts


Preparing to celebrate the Gift of Gifts, under a thick blanket of December snow, my list continues...

0201
Christmas cards falling through the mail slot.


0202
My three walking through the church mid-week with baskets full of goodies. Delivering gifts of love to those who serve.

The safe arrival of a sweet baby girl.

0204
Carrot noses.


0205
Cold, pink cheeks.

0206
A red scarf.

0207
Snowballs.


0208
Wool mittens.

0209
Sleds. And the big hill at the neighborhood park.

0210
Old Christmas movies at the end of a snow day.

0211
A puzzle in progress.


0212
Christmas books.

0213
Finding Hannah reading to her brothers.

0214
Spiced nuts.

0215
Coming inside.


0216
Piles of snow gear in our school room.

0217
Standing by the fire in their socks.

0218
Family Advent readings.

0219
The Gift of Gifts.

What shall I render thee for the gift of gifts,
thine own dear Son, begotten, not created,
my Redeemer, proxy, surety, substitute,
his self-emptying incomprehensible,
his infinity of love beyond the heart's grasp.

from Valley of Vision



The lists continue...
