I am over at Seeds of Faith today. I am sharing some scripture in Luke and a few words about Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Luke 1:26-38

 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 
28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
 35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy— the Son of God. 
36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 
38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

I hope you will come over and visit me at the Seeds of Faith today!

first snow of the season

first snow of the season

The first snow happened a couple of weeks ago and I am just now blogging about it. Yes, it has been a busy couple of weeks for our family. The snow started on a Tuesday and snowed most through the day and part of the night. While it did snow quite a bit, it had been too warm for it to stick on the ground. That still did not deter the kids from going out and playing in it.

Our family truly loves the colder weather and when it snows a few inches on the ground. We love to get out and play in it and walk in it. Nothing beautiful like a white winter wonderland. We are hoping (and praying) for a white Christmas again. We wouldn’t even mind being snowed in.

Yes, we like each other in our family and enjoy spending time together!

Christmas tree tradition

Christmas tree tradition

One of our family traditions is going to pick out a Christmas tree. I love this time together. This year, we went back to the Christmas tree farm that we went to last year. It is owned by friends who are in our homeschool group. They graciously opened up their farm once again. My kids love running walking around looking for the perfect tree. They usually can’t agree on which one to get. It is so fun to listen to them compare the different qualities of each tree. Yes, it is good quality family time. Something I would not trade for anything.  I thought I would share a few pictures of our fun day.  Do you have any family traditions that you do during this Christmas season?  I would love for you to share them!

Dad is checking this tree out.
Claire and Samuel looking at many different trees.
There were several fields of different sizes of trees.  We had such a wonderful time!
Not for sure what Sarah was doing here, but Samuel was just a talking to her. 🙂
They have found the perfect tree!  Standing here while the owner gets his chain saw. 
The owner and his wife cutting down our tree!!
We had a wonderful day!  Our oldest was unable to make it with us, but he had the lights and ornaments out when we got home.  He was just as excited as we were!
Looking forward to hearing about your family traditions!
