12 Days of Christmas

I know our secular holiday of Christmas is over, but since January 6th we are now in the official 12 Days of Christmas. January 6th is Epiphany which is known as the 'Christian Christmas.' The reason for this is because it is the day we celebrate the Wise Men bringing their gifts to Jesus. I did not grow up in a church that celebrated Epiphany, but now see the importance of celebrating this holiday. The wise men were not Jews, but they still came to worship Jesus. In doing so God shows us that He is a God for all people. When I came across the following music video I decided to put it on my blog even though it's after Christmas - in honor of the 'Christian Christmas.' Happy 9th Day of Christmas!

Merry (Blessed) Christmas

There are just some things in life that are way more precious than silver or gold! Today I have been blessed with two such things. First, my kids are home from college. The second was a surprise. My cousin sent me a Christmas card that my mom had sent to their family in 1958. The verse she wrote was:

'God's love to enfold you, His wisdom to guide.
May these be your blessings this glad Christmastide.'  

What else is there to say? That is my wish for all of you this 2011 Christmas.

That's me on the right.
