Day 22 Christmas Creche Countdown
Good morning, All! Did you see the Bethlehem Star last night? Star of Wonder, Star of Night! The star that led the wisemen to Jesus. What led you to Him? Sometimes it does us good to ponder. To consider our lives. To realize where we are, remember where we’ve been, and focus on where we’re going. What are we following in this thing...
Day 21 Christmas Creche Countdown
I found it! I found it! Thanks to FB flashbacks! I couldn’t wait to share my ‘most-liked’ pic of 2012 which I mentioned in an earlier post in this countdown series. My youngest granddaughter was curiously, tenderly, passionately, and intently gazing upon Baby Jesus. May she ALWAYS be so drawn to Him! It’s Day 21...

Day 19 Christmas Creche Countdown
It’s a gingerbread kind of day and lest you believe I’ve baked and decorated gingerbread cookies, DON’T! Don’t believe it! I haven’t. The fragrances of Christmas are typically not found at my house – apple pie, sugar cookies, gingersnaps, etc. Their aromas may happen once in a while but it’s only...
Day 18 Christmas Creche Countdown
It’s Friday…and a week from today is Christmas! Can you believe it? What must it have been like 2000 years ago? A week away from her delivery date, was Mary calmly sweeping, or dusting off the tabletop in Nazareth? Did she have everything ready for the new arrival – swaddling clothes, blankets, a place to lay his head? Had...
Day 17: Christmas Creche Countdown
Counting down….or maybe I’m counting up! In either case, it’s day 17 of my Christmas Creche Countdown for 2020! This has been a fun ‘exercise’ as I’ve spent time remembering, observing, and writing about each one of my nativities. I have several. Has anyone counted yet? I’ve posted about well over 17...
Day 16: Christmas Creche Countdown!
Greetings, my friends. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in central Kansas. We don’t have as much snow as our southern neighbors do, but we have snow. I love to look at it (from inside my warm home), but do not love to be out in it. However, in our neck of the woods, we need the moisture…so, let it SNOW! As it...
Day 15 – Christmas Creche Countdown
We three kings… …steadfast in their goal to follow a celestial flashlight. Three kings, determined in their search for the newborn King. These kings brought fine gifts – gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Expensive gifts for a baby in a barn. A baby surrounded by animals! They were on a mission, and at the end of it, they were on...
