Christmas Gift Bag, and Joyful Thoughts......

(These are photos of the gift bag and hand made card I crafted today for someone very special to me... thought I'd go for the girly - girl pink, green, white and cream look, rather than the traditional colors.... I hope she likes it!)

Wow! Today I learned the meaning of the words "Christmas Rush"!! LOL! I got a lot done, though, so it's all good..... I am still up in the wee hours, though, washing some clothes.....

But it was a good day! I sneaked over and played santa for someone..... left a card and gift bag full of goodies where she will find it tomorrow.... what fun! And, as I drove home, I had the radio on, and was listening to Christmas Carols, when the wonder of what God did for mankind so long ago, just swept over me, and I wept..... to think that He, the Awesome God of the Universe would come to this earth and put on a robe of this old, human flesh, so that He could die for our sins...... oh my! I got to thinking: "Lord, You know what it's like to be flesh and blood.... You have felt what it's like to walk around in fallible flesh, You understand how that we humans can start out with good intentions and then make mistakes"..... for, although He knew no sin, my friends.... it says that He was: "tempted in all points like as we...." go read Hebrews 4:15.... isn't that amazing????? He is so very good.......His Mercy endureth for ever! I am rejoicing in Him this morning!
