The Gift Exchange.....

After hearing a wise man speak to me about how Christmas is truly just a gift exchange and materialism at its worst- I am considering the idea of making my gifts next year. I like the idea of giving something I have made and that I think will be meaningful for the other person. I have made a few of my gifts in the past but am considering making them all? I am looking for gift ideas. Got any? Have you made gifts in the past that impressed you and that you would love to pass on? Feel free to share your ideas with me.

Hoping and Wishing and Praying

Here we go again.....

A year later and I am hoping to keep up with my blog better this time around. I started out strong but lost steam quickly. I so enjoy reading my friend's blogs and am hopeful they will enjoy reading mine too.

Speaking of friends- I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I was surprised by how quickly it came and went.... It was easy for the day to slip away and to be caught up in the American way of celebrating. Each year I hope that the next will be different and that I will spend more time celebrating the birth of my Savior.

May the Peace of Christ never leave you alone.
