Blessed Christmas and New Year

Blessed Christmas and New YearI'm sure you had a wonderful Christmas! I read some lovely words about Christmas that I would like to share with you! I believe these words are written by Phillip H. Barnhart, in a book "Christmas Is..."

"Christmas is God's love coming to everyone in Jesus Christ.
Christmas is God putting his arms of deep and far reaching love around the world and hugging it to Himself.
Christmas is God in the flesh, making tangible God's feelings about you.
You acknowledge such love when you put up your tree, decorate it with colors and shapes, and light it in joyful anticipation.
You honor such a gift when you choose particular presents for special people and give them in love and appreciation.
You affirm the coming of God in Christ when you read the story, sing the songs, listen to the Word, accept the truth, and feel the touch.
Christmas is knowing God loves you and comes to be with you.
Christmas is God in your heart."

I wish for all of you Christmas in your heart everyday!

We had a great time this Christmas spending time with our oldest and best friends, and in church worshiping. We are truly blessed.

I have been adding to my desktop layout with more holiday photos, this is how it looks now!Credits: Paper from Franziska's Whimsical Wonderland, flowers from Christina Renee's Art Fusion, ricrac by Miss Mint, but I can't remember where the Word Art is from? So sorry to the creator of this lovely word art, can anyone help me?
And I thought maybe someone will like to use the desktop template for their Christmas and holiday photos, so here it is!
This free template can be downloaded from the store here

  22. Hello Yin! It's been a while since I've visited and just read your wonderful post about Christmas. Thanks for sharing that... I hope you had a joyous holiday and may the new year bring you more blessings to be thankful for... I'm now at Faith Sisters and starting my designing adventure there. I'll also be hosting challenges ~ Faith Discovery. I thought I'd mention it to you in case you were interested and also wanted to thank you because I don't know if you remember but, you had offered me encouragment when I was still praying for God to lead me in this direction of designing...Thank you so much. God bless...

  28. Howdy Yin!!!

    It's so good to see you back home safe and sound... and to know that your family had such wonderful Christ-filled holidays too.

    We were off celebrating my DH's and his twin sis' 40th Birthday... what fun we had... Did a roller skating party and then food, trivia, and games afterwards.

    Looking forward to seeing your layouts over the next couple months from the US trip!

    THANKS for the Desktop template today!!!

    Love & Blessings,
    Shawna
