The 13th JOY of Christmas...Winter Wonderland

Wow! This morning I left to take Noah to school and we were greeted with a Winter Wonderland...or so it appeared. I so enJOY the seasons and all that nature has to offer...what a sight. It made for picturesque moments...like powdered sugar made it's debut.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland reminds us of the glorious World that has been created by our Savior for the benefit of mankind.

The 2nd JOY of Christmas...Festival of Lights

The Lights at Temple Square were beautiful as always. It is a time to admire, reflect and appreciate the reason for the season...our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The appeal of Christmas Lights are likened to the stars in the sky and the glistening of moonlight on the freshly fallen snow. Light strings joined together represent the bond of loved ones, peace and hope and of course the most wondrous Light of the World...Jesus.

Blessing in Disguise

I felt sorry that Noah was sick and home from School. That meant that I would also be home from School. At first I felt frustrated but then I remembered a project that had to be completed at the earliest convenience which is usually never. While Noah rested, I worked on Mom and Dad's Anniversary Gift. It was completed and ordered and that was a great JOY!! I will have faith that it will turn out even better than what it looks like on computer.

Finding Strength

I have enJOYed my week off. I have taken and organized photos. I have been able to Smilebox and Shutterfly, one of those projects being Christ as my hero. I have also viewed the DVD's I never get around to watching because of preferences of Noah and Rick. As I watched the Reflections of Christ, The Testaments, Finding Faith in Christ and others, I discovered happiness in my moments of affliction. I found a new hope. I realized, truly, my strength is in Christ. I found JOY in being able to put those words to one of my photos of a fountain...Christ the living waters is what nurtures and sustains me.
