CHRISTMAS IS COMING


CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

The above image is our only outdoor Christmas 
decoration this year.  That suits me just fine because 
I know who would have (had) to put them up outside.

The cross these lights are on is visible in the image
 below, up the hill on the facing end of the house.  
A few years ago my wife and daughter decided I 
should make them a cross and put at that end of the 
house.  The first thought that came to my mind was 
one of my favorite songs - The Old Rugged Cross.  
So, I built the cross out of some old rugged rail 
road ties.




O yes.
There are some inside Christmas decorations.  They 
are in the truck above when we took them out of 
storage for this years decorations.  Everything on the 
truck in this image is Christmas decorations. [That 
even includes my wife.]

As you guessed, I cannot look anywhere in the house 
without seeing some Christmas decorations.  But that
 is fine because we cannot help but celebrate the fact 
that God the creator in His mercy came down to
 earth as a man (Jesus Christ) and died as a sacrifice 
for my sins.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall 
not perish, but have eternal life.  For God did 
not send the Son into the world to judge the world,
 but that the world might be saved through Him.  
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does 
not believe has been judged already, because he 
has  not believed in the name of the only 
begotten Son of God."
(John 3:16-18 NASB)
