My Country Home ready for Christmas…
Yes, it’s all about Jesus. Let us be thankful for all of God’s blessings in our lives.
Best wishes for a peaceful Christmas season filled with the sweet presence of Jesus.
IN MY WORDS – I had planned on writing a sweet, serious post about Christmas this week.
But finding these sweaters at a shop in Vermont pulled me in a different direction.
Where did the ugly holiday sweater fad come from? Maybe from a good idea in the beginning that eventually got way out of control. When we visited Chester, Vermont this past weekend, I found this rack of “ugly Christmas sweaters” in a store on the village green. I confess I have never seen sweaters quite this…unique.
If you’re looking for a brand new look for a Christmas party, or entering an ugly sweater contest, this is the place to shop. I think you’re guaranteed to either get laughed out of the party or win a prize.
Sweaters may be found at Country on the Commons in Chester, VT.
Buy one as a gift for someone you love, admire, dislike, or as a dare to wear challenge : )
P.S. I was going to try one on, but just…couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Leave a comment if you are brave enough to wear one of these sweaters to be entered into a drawing for a Hallmark Christmas dvd.
Serious post re-scheduled for next week.
IN MY WORDS – Cherish and treasure the wise mentors in your life.
My husband and I were part of a pastoral studies class last weekend with a special speaker; a Bishop of a large, Apostolic church in Long Island. He taught a two hour class on 5 major topics of “How to Stay in Revival till Jesus Comes.” This dear man just turned 85 and he stood for a good portion of the class.
When he did finally sit down to continue teaching, he did not lose one iota of anointing. Very few people can sit back in an easy chair and still present a powerful message that surpasses any young, energetic preacher running the aisles and shouting. There was such a wealth of wisdom in his words spoken to the class of earnest, young students. We were thankful and privileged to be a part of this session. And forever grateful for this Godly mentor in our lives.
If you are fortunate to have elderly men and women of God in your life, learn from them!
They know what works and what has not changed through the years – the power of prayer, sacrifice and all-out commitment.
They are God’s jewels to be treasured.
Do you have someone like this in your life?
Have you told them lately how much they mean to you?
“Wisdom is with aged men, with long life is understanding.” Job 12:2
