Now in all honesty I really loved creating this outdoor arrangement. I will admit some of the elements were the same as Itsy Bits and Pieces Nov. 17th porch vignette. I had everything laying around and Tim was sweet enough to go out and dig up a little evergreen tree for me to use.
The snow....Well, there was a wee bit left in a shaded place in the yard. So I shoveled it and then
tried to simulate falling snow so it would catch on the limbs of the tree and look natural. It didn't turn out too bad. We are, supposedly, getting snow in the next two days. I'll believe that when I see it!
A door arrangement. This is actually my bathroom door.
And the most important display of all-The Nativity. I've had this for over 25 years. It was given
to me by a friend who has since passed away. I think of her every time I look at it. She was a
great prayer partner of mine when my children were young. She loved to pray and worship God.
She died a very unusual accidental death, which always makes me pause to consider that none
of us are infallible. We need the assurance and the peace that when we leave this world
we too will meet our Saviour. Campus Crusades has a wonderfully simple explanation of how
we can do this. Please visit the site if your heart is telling you to. It is such a simple step, but
what a huge impact it has made on my life. Well, I hadn't meant to preach when I began this
story. I guess one thing just leads to another and another, and then here I am just talking from
heart.
That's all I have for today my friends. Have a great Wednesday!
