Glory descended, when Jesus came as a Babe to earth. What a miracle! So too, the snow! But do we recognize His majesty, daily, unfolding?

I cherish the times that I can hold Tilly like a baby in my arms. Can you imagine the joy that Mary felt at holding Jesus, the Messiah?

Peace, means calmness, tranquility. Jeepers found respite under the tree, enjoying the lights. Need a fresh supply? Run into God's arms!

Sunbeam, the bread company reminds us, in this Holiday Season--to focus on the Word and Prayer. How awesome!

We found this mailbox labeled "Letters to Santa." I could picture little ones doing just that! Have you ever written a Letter to God?

Bells decorating a street lamp reminded me of the Good Tidings that the angels proclaimed in Luke 2. Will you share the love of Jesus today?

Jeeper-Joy seemed to know the meaning of "joy;" she displayed it with her trills and meows. Want a lasting sense of Joy? His name is Jesus!

Hope, begins the first week of Advent. Hope--means to believe, to have a confidence or trust. Where's yours? Our best source is Jesus!

Thanksgiving--the word conjures images of gatherings, food and fellowship, right? But how do/will you respond if the not-so-idyllic occurs?

Thanksgiving brings an opportunity to share a friend or loved one's need ... what a blessing to pray and participate in showing God's love.

A skiff of snow this week highlighted leaves making them appear, to my eye, as ornaments. This pointed to God's beauty. Come see how!

As we went to vote this week, this was the scene that met us: the statue of a fireman in prayer. This is his/her mission, and ours too!

From this vantage point, we noticed many forms of transportation. Come see how this is likened, analogous, to following God's Will.

Cat's eyes from a neighbor's window, reminded me of Jesus' watchful care.

A fallen branch, upon a background of leaves, reminded me of the truth of John 15:5. Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches. Come, abide!

The glow of leaves was reflected into our home. The Spirit’s glow moves in reverse, lighting the soul, to shine in and through us.

God's natural stepping stones led the way to a beautiful vista. Are you following His ways, His Will?

I captured this bridge at just the right moment for it to have a perfect circle reflection. Come see how we are to imitate Jesus, likewise.
