Our Christmas tree is up, but not completely decorated. I am waiting for instructions from Kristen’s Creation on how to do the bow at the top of the tree, but things are definitely looking festive here.
We spent yesterday working on the front yard. I still have to do the front door. I’m trying to decide how to do the garland without putting nails or screws in my brand-new front door. I also saw some lighted trees at Home Goods and Target that I’d like to put on either side of the door – plus I need a new wreath. Whew…I’m lucky to be married to an electrical engineer… (even so, I think that we might have blown the breaker once lol)
Things are coming along… I ran across the following at Empty Nest Full Life. She suggested during this advent season that we reflect each day on who God is. What a great idea! I am going to join her.
HE IS
In Genesis, He's the Breath of Life
In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb
In Leviticus, He's our High Priest
In Numbers, the Fire by Night
Deuteronomy, He's Israel's Guide
Joshua, He's Salvation's Choice
Judges, He's Israel's Guard
In Ruth, the Kinsmen's Redeemer
1st and 2nd Samuel, our Trusted Prophet
In Kings and Chronicles, He is Sovereign
In Ezra, He's the True and Faithful Scribe
Nehemiah, the Re-builder of Broken Lives
In Esther, He's Mordecai's Courage
In Job, the Timeless Redeemer
In Psalms, He's Our Morning Song
In Proverbs, He is our Wisdom
Ecclesiastes, He's the Time and Season
Song of Solomon, He is the Lover's Dream
In Isaiah, He is the Prince of Peace
In Jeremiah, the Weeping Prophet
Lamentations, the Cry for Israel
Ezekiel, the Call from Sin
Daniel, the Stranger in the Fire
Hosea, the Forever Faithful
Joel, the Spirit's Power
Amos, the Strong Arms That Carry
Obadiah, the Lord Our Savior
Jonah, the Great Missionary

Nahum, our Strength and Shield
In Habakkuk and Zephaniah, He brings revival
In Haggai, He restores that which was lost
In Zachariah, He's our fountain
And in Malachi, He's the Son of Righteousness, rising with Healing in His Wings
AND THAT'S JUST THE OLD TESTAMENT...
In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, He is God and Messiah
In the Spirit-filled book of Acts, He is the Reigning Fire from Heaven
In Romans, He is the Grace of God
Corinthians, the Power of Love
Galatians, Freedom from the curse of sin

In Hebrews, the Everlasting Courage
In James, the One Who Heals the Sick
In 1st and 2nd Peter, our Faithful Shepherd
In John and Jude, He's the Lover Coming for His Bride
And in the Revelation, in the very end, when it's over, said and done, when time is NO MORE, He is and will always be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace, Son of Man, Lamb of God, The Great I Am, Alpha and Omega, God and Savior.
HE IS JESUS CHRIST THE LORD AND IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED!
