My favorite part of any display is always the manger scene. What a glorious gift from heaven! God, the giver of life, robed in flesh, giving himself to mankind.
In the Old Testament, Isaiah prophesied, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
I'm glad I know who Jesus is.

So many great memories, driving around looking at Christmas lights. I plan to do that tonight.
ReplyDeleteYes, so glad to know who Jesus is ... God with us, in flesh.
Oh, how we loved doing this walk thru town to see the lights ... then with our children. Such beautiful memories.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

Family traditions are such an important part of Christmas; building memories. I love how these traditions are passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes it is an activity... like driving around to look at lights, going to midnight Mass, or baking cookies together. For our family, it having a Norwegian smorgsboard.Yesterday I went shopping for pickled herring and lefse! Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Have a blessed Christmas with your loved ones.

We finally did our drive around last night. We always pop in a Christmas CD and bring our travel mugs full of cocoa. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOur lights weren't that great this year. I love your shots! I guess everything really IS bigger in Texas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Gayle!!
