Photo 52, Week 51: Merry and Bright
Do you see that? My friend Carla knows me so well!
She gave me chocolate from around the world.
Pretty sure nothing could have made me merrier,
and it certainly is bright!
How did you know that was this week's theme, Carla?
You must be an angel. ;-)
You must be an angel. ;-)
I do love how festive things look at this time of year,
beginning at home…
and also out and about.
Not only the sights, but the sounds,
a perfect combination.
Lee and I slipped away to attend a sing along Handel's Messiah.
We've been to several over the years, and it takes my breath away every time.
This does too.
(Next time, tripod.)
(We were already running late.)
This, my friends, is a snow bank close up.
And then there is the mall version of merry and bright.
It lasted five minutes, but hey.
We stopped to see this on the way home.
We can see it from the highway every year.
There on the left is Ben. With shorts on.
Because nothing says merry and bright
like a kid who is establishing his manhood
by weathering winter without wearing anything warm.
The Advent calendar reminds us that there is still a little time left
but as always there is much to do.
May your days be merry and bright.
May your Christmas be white if you want it to be.
May the inn of your heart
find room for Emmanuel,
God with us.

I love reading and especially love that Ben is repping my Auburn Tigers!
Hope he saw the Kick-6 on Nov 30 as well as The Miracle in Jordan-Hare on Nov 17
Watch for Skip and me in Pasadena! Merry Christmas to you all

Hello Tracy and lee. Compliments of the Christmas season and a wish you a very blessed, prosperous and Christ centered New year. So good to know you through your profile on the blogger. I was also glad to stop by your blog "The Journey and the post on it" Merry and Bright". Those are beautiful pictures of Christmas bringing joy to the viewers. You and Lee look rediant and full of joy. Well just would like to share about the opportunity one can have of coming to Mumbai, India on a short term missions trip to work with us in the slums of Mumbai, India amongst poorest of poor sharing good news of Jesus Christ to them and giving them new hope in Him. I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 34yrs in the great city of Mummbai a city with great contrast where richestof rich and the poorest of poor live. we reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. We also encourage young people as well as adults from the West to come to Mumbai on a short /long term missions trip two work with us. We would love to have you or your teen aged children come to work with us on a short / long term missions trip. I am sure they will have a life changing experience.
