Making Memories…..
posted by
There is a ‘Cut Your Own Christmas Tree Farm’ about ten minutes from the barn, which offers a great assortment of fir trees to pick from.
When we heard about it we thought it would be a great memory if we all went and cut down our Christmas tree this year. We all cheered at the idea and anticipated the evening together.
We made some fun family memories that night! O, the joys of doing things together!
As we go through these last 9 days before Christmas may we take the time to make family memories. Enjoy one another!
- As our dear friends the Neely’s would say, “Sit long – Talk much -Laugh often.”
- Make cookies and Christmas goodies together for your neighbors.
- Invite a couple families over and go Christmas caroling! Hand out cookies and a Christmas track. The candy cane story is a great track to give out!
- Send a ‘Box of Blessings’ to a missionary, or a family that is in need.
- Look for people that you can bless through your words, time, a note, or gift.
- Be available! Sometimes we miss those opportunities to bless others because we are so wrapped up in what we are doing! Evaluate what is truly important? How does the Lord want me to be spending my time, energy, and gifting’s?
- But most of all, don’t let the days slip by without taking the time to truly bask in the greatest gift that we have been given- Eternal life through Jesus Christ!
