this gorgeous camera bag:
infinity scarves. any of them, really:
while we're at it, i'd like these also:
or maybe these:
i could keep going...
ok, for real, i'll stop now. there's just so much pretty to be found!
however, on a more serious note...i do know that christmas is not about the presents and pretty lights and trees. it's about the birth of Jesus Christ. it's a time to celebrate all the He has done and continues to do for us, even when we don't deserve it...especially when we don't deserve it.
luke 1:28-38
the angel went to her and said, "greetings, you who are highly favored! the Lord
is with you." mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this
might be. but the angel said to her, "do not be afraid, mary, you have found favor with
God. you will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus. he will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. the Lord God will
give him the throne of his father david, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." "how will this be," mary asked the angel, "since i am a virgin?" the angel answered, "the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow you. so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. even elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she
who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. for nothing is impossible with God." "i am the Lord's servant," mary answered. "may it be to me as you have said."
then the angel left her.
how terrifying that must have been for mary, but she was faithful and obedient. praise God for her faithfulness. i find myself wondering what it must have been like to have given birth to the Savior...to have kissed the face of God and held Jesus in my arms as a tiny baby. what a privilege that must have been!
