From My House to Yours ~ Merry Christmas

~~~ Christmas Greetings from Plum Cottage ~~~

Dear Folks ~ Forgive me for being away so long, the longest I've ever not posted. Time is zipping right along. Things have been happening here, the load on my shoulders is being lifted and I am oh so thankful. There's still a lot to do, but forward progress is being made. I  'plan'  to get back into blogging more regularly in the new year. 

It's hard to believe Christmas is a week from tomorrow. May you have times of love, joy and peace during this holiday season. May the Hope of the season fill your hearts to overflowing. Jesus, God with skin on, was born because of His great love for us. He came to save us all, so that we could spend eternity with Him. No more pain, death, sorrow, or sin, all will be peace and joy forevermore. If you don't yet know Him, my prayer is that you will come to know Him and love him. You are precious to Him. Seek Him and you will find Him.

Now here are some glimpses from my home sweet home, the little haven that we created here through the years. We moved in here in 1973. It was built in 1950-1951. A tiny house before the movement of tiny homes began.

 

 

Jesus said,

“Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:28-29

May your Christmas week be peace filled wherever you are, whatever you are doing. 

May 2022 be a better year for all, all around the world.

Love, prayers & hugs,

Christmas at Plum Cottage

Good morning Folks ~ here we are a little over a week before Christmas day. Time is zipping right along. Today I hope to get started on some Christmas baking.

Yesterday I edited photos for this post while listening to a wonderful you tube long playing piece of Christmas music. It did my heart good. I will share the link at the end of this post.

No words this time, just pictures from around this little cottage. The theme was 'more' romantic this year and the Nativity placed in a safe place in the bookcase, as Miss T has been using the mantel as a jumping board to get to top of bookcase. No new ornaments, most of these are 'old' and 'special'. The only new addition were the red ribbon rose buds, which I had a little bag of in my crafting stash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1 KJV)

 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called 

Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

 

***

Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. He is the Light of the world. Through him we have life, now and forever more when we believe he is who he said he is. He is the great I AM. May we be still and listen for his voice. He loves us.

Love, hugs and prayers,
