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...
Day 14 – Christmas Creche Countdown
It’s a great pre-Christmas morning as I prepare to share another creche with you all. I can hardly believe it’s a little more than a week until Christmas. How time does fly. Especially this year. You’d think in 2020 the days, weeks, and months would just drag by, but that hasn’t been the case for me. It seems the...
Day 13 of Christmas Creche Countdown
It’s Sunday. Day 13 of my Creche Countdown. Let’s take a peek at Baby Jesus through the eyes of a child. I’ve enjoyed having nativities over the years that my kids and now my grandkids can enjoy playing with to retell the Christmas story in their own kid-friendly terminology! Today I’ll share some of these...
Christmas Creche Countdown – Day 12
Only 13 days until Christmas! Can you believe it? As I finish things on my “to do” list, and cross out the days on my calendar, the reality sinks in a bit more every day. I love Christmas, though. I love the warm fuzzy memories that fill my heart as I think of Christmases past. I also love the anticipation of THIS Christmas!...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 11
Good Morning, Friends. It’s December 11th – and Day 11 of my Creche Countdown! Today I’m featuring one of my recent finds at an antique/flea market in nearby Wichita. I’ve had it a couple weeks – one of the ‘seasonal displays’ people put out in their booths before a new season, you know! Sometimes THIS...
Creche Countdown – Day 10
This 2020 holiday season is ‘different.’ Much has changed and continues to change. There is no ‘normal’ anymore. But, different doesn’t have to be bad. How we respond matters. To the best of my ability, I choose to celebrate what’s ‘different‘ in 2020. I hope you can, too. Remember, there is no...
Welcome, I’m Elaine. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do!
