Hello,
Only a week and a half or so until Christmas! Can you believe it? In today's newsletter I am going to be sharing some of our traditions and memories of the Christmas. This year has been hard and I have really tried to keep some of our traditions and make sure we are making those happy memories. I hope this brings a smile to your face and spurs you to make some memories of your own this Christmas!
Decorating our front porch has always been a fun thing we have done. Over the years we have had times when we didn't do as much as far as lights on the porch, but this year we decided to have some fun!
My oldest daughter is an awesome decorator! She always has fun decorating the top of one of our bookshelves. I love this year's decorations -- it reminds me that Jesus is the light, and He is ever faithful!
This is another decoration my oldest daughter made. It sits on our dining room table and I love it! I love lights and candles during Christmas because it reminds me that we are to be the light, as Jesus is the light.
This tradition was one that I kept for my family after we got married. Every year when I was growing up, my parents would have a night where we decorated the house for Christmas. We would then have a "snacky dinner" which always included summer sausage and cheese, crackers, fruit, etc. We have added some of our favorites snack foods over the years. This picture was several years ago - I forgot to snap a picture of our dinner this year. But this night is one we always look forward to each year!
Every year we try to make a big batch of Peppernuts. This is a recipe that was passed down from my grandparents. They make them every year and we ate on them all through the holidays. They are SO good! My parents are coming over today and we are going to be making more happy memories! So this newsletter is going to be a bit shorter because I have some cookie dough to go mix up!
You can find more of our Christmas memories and recipes in this free "Christmas Memories" booklet I created. Feel free to download your copy and use some of our ideas to make your Christmas special this year!
If you haven't joined me over on Substack, you should! It has been a lot of fun for me to have a more informal place to write. Besides the Revelation study going on over there, I usually do one other post during the week on whatever topic the Lord lays on my heart to write about. PLUS, all the Intentional Inspirations newsletters that I send out every Saturday are archived over there for you to read at your leisure! So if you are just joining my list or want to go back and read some of the previous newsletters, hop on over and find them there! Enjoy!
Praying for each of you, that you are finding your rest, your hope, your strength, in Jesus alone!
Take care. Don't fear. Trust God!
Blessings,
Sheri

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT MEDICAL FREEDOM?
Our freedoms are being threatened all across this country and across the whole world. Vaccine mandate laws are being pushed through that take away the rights of parents to choose the health care of their children. If you want to research this issue, I encourage you to check out this resource page. I also want to offer you this Vaccine Hesitancy Review document (PDF file) that does a good job of summarizing the issues: Vaccine Hesitancy Review.pdf
