Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

“The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect!”
Charles N. Barnard
What fun we had last night getting the tree “just right”! This picture was taken late at night with the little white lights all aglow…one of my favorite times of Christmas…snuggled in our chair in front of the tree with my evening cup of tea (or other hot drink). You would never really get all that from this photo but we are enjoying our tree. Obviously, photography is one more skill that I do not excel at (I wish I could get all the extraneous stuff out of the background but when I shoot upclose…fuzzy.)
We’ve done the burgundy and gold for several years – and probably will for several more because its too expensive to just start over. We did get another real tree this year. Every year, Hubbie puts up a protest for an artificial….maybe next year. I have four special “Tyler” ornaments at the top…those, and the 300+ white lights are my favorite part!
Have you finished yours? Have a favorite part? Share a picture!!

  1. Beautiful tree, Jennifer! I’ve decorated our tree in gold and burgundy colors, too…actually our whole house! I think it’s so special that you have ornaments on your tree for your son.

    Hope you’re having a great day!

  3. I’ve tried commenting a million times and the only way it will let me is to post through Tony’s account… but anyways, it’s beautiful 🙂 I love it. And I told you it’s better not to mess with a good thing!

  4. I love it! It’s beautiful!!! Love your colors. Yes, we’re finished with the tree. I have one more thing (room) to decorate and I will be posting ALL my pictures.

    Happy Thursday friend!
