It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

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

Micah, the Promise of Peace

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

Ephesians, Our Glorious Treasure

Philippians, the Servant's Heart

Colossians, He's God and the Trinity

Thessalonians, Our Calling King

In Timothy, Titus and Philemon, He's our Mediator and our Faithful Pastor

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!
