Bill and I have a tradition of giving our children and grandchildren a Christmas ornament each year. Our four granddaughters receive angel ornaments each year. Last year we decided to make them pine cone angel ornaments from a kit. We won't do that again! It was tedious work and took all the patience and creativity we could muster. This year the angel ornaments were purchased from a store, totally complete and ready to give.
This year we started a new tradition also, as we now have our first grandson. We decided to start a tradition of star ornaments with Royal. The star shone brightly in the sky to lead the magi to the Christ Child, giving light to a dark world.
The angels and the star filled the night sky, proclaiming "Glory to God in the highest, and peace, good will to all." To see the angels and the star, the shepherds and the magi had to look up, to raise their eyes to the skies.
This Christmas season let us look upward and proclaim "Glory to God in the highest, and peace, good will to all" as we prepare to welcome our Lord and Savior. Let us look upward to see what light is shining upon our world as God comes again to us in the form of an infant. Let us look upward to receive the encouragement and guidance for the journey that is before us as individual Christians and as a congregation.
"Glory to God in the highest, and peace, good will to all!"
Christmas Blessings,
Candice
