The christmas tree was decorated from last month
the scenery a whole town with lake and snow covered streets
lights and snowsleighs, all are set up in the window sill
home made nativitycave, staw, animals, sheperds, Mary and Josef are all standing awaiting the arrival of Jesus the Christ.
An angel gaurding the cave. People standing outside at the caves entrace some kneeling and others leaning in to see what is happening inside.
I enjoy this time of the year. All the ingredients for glaced deboned chicken are bought awaiting the day to be marinated, then filled with a mixure of sweet potatoes and spinach to be oven baked.
Banana leaves and mais meal and the rest of it to become ayaca, another dish we eat in these festive days.
Lights and decorations every where, presents under the tree.
handcrafted packages made to give to neighbours and friends instead of Christmas cards a Bible verse added John 3:16
preparing to go to the Christmas concert of our congragation, I am all excited.
This is the time that is central in my life and I strech it to the max.
start it the first week of november and end it till the 6th of februari.
The birth of my Saviour, my brother, my King, my lawyer, my beginning and my end, lover of my soul, my counselor, my all in all.
He left the splendor of heaven, knowing His destiny was the lowly cross at Golgotha where He suffered and died for me.
Oh how happy I am to be able to say He saved me and that I am His for eternity. I know where I was before Him and I know where I am with Him.
The good intention I have for the coming year is to continue serving Him to the max. To be faithful in everything He sets on my path. To love others as I love myself and to continue bringing the good news of Salvation to a dieying world.
Yes I can fullheartedly say: as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.
Praise God that Jesus is the reason for this season and for my life.
Will you ask Him to be the reason for yours also??
