Every day is a celebration of grace.
But there is something so precious to me about the season leading up to Easter.
The season some recognize as "Lent".
Come on in, and let me try to show you how we celebrate this Holy Season.
The upper hooks are for mine and the Preacher's scarves and hats and such...
...the lower are for the G-babies' little things.
Winter evergreens are replaced by green grass, in the rusty metal bucket.
And the binoculars aren't for show. The Preacher is a rabid bird watcher.
{and the number 10 needs to be replaced by an 11. I just haven't carved the stamp.
Yet.
::smile::More on that later.}
Fresh spring flowers are always to be enjoyed this time of year.
A table centerpiece of moss and candles, nestled in an antique drawer....
...celebrating spring, the Finished Work of the Cross,
and Him whose Life was the light of men (John chapter 1).
Pussywillow branches, an antique book whose title rejoices in
every new season, whatever it is. And original art. And light.
The new hallway Gallery Wall - full of original art by my son-in-
love Jonathan Howe...
...as well as yours truly.
This is a time for Christians to rejoice in Jesus,
{In Christ Alone My Hope is Found}
This is a time to observe the inauguration of the dispensation of
{In Christ Alone My Hope is Found}
This is a time to observe the inauguration of the dispensation of
His grace;
not a time to be wan and sad, not a time to look inward,
where perfection is never to be found.
not a time to be wan and sad, not a time to look inward,
where perfection is never to be found.
He gives beauty for ashes.
Why not fill your home, heart, and relationships with beauty?
Grace and Peace,
