Gifts for Our King

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of our Lord Jesus. Our heavenly Father God revealed His Son as the Savior of the world.

Wise men (magi) from the East followed the brightest star ever, traveled many miles, and found toddler Jesus with His family in a house where they bowed and worshiped Him. They gave Jesus their gifts of gold, incense, and myrhh, the most precious gifts they could bring to honor Him. (Matthew 2:1-12)

What a commitment! What a journey! What gifts from their hearts! What faith!

How is Jesus the brightest light shining in your life?

In what ways does He guide you and show you His perfect love?

What gifts might you and I give to our Savior, King, and Friend Jesus?

One carol says it simply, "I'll give You my heart."

Blessed Epiphany season! May Jesus' bright light be the light for your path in this new year.

Stardust

It's so much fun to play with the new papers from CTMH!

Here is Stardust on the memory keeper box and accordion album

that fits into the box.

I used the Stickease embellishments, lots of pop dots, Liquid Glass,

hemp, buttons, and pewter brads--it's ALL BOY.

Senior Intern Beth

A year from now, we'll be planning a graduation party for Bethany, now a senior intern with chiropractic clinical practice on her calendar through next April. She's going to be able to use her new business cards and monogrammed card holder that Santa stuffed into her stocking on Christmas Eve.

Here's the page I scrapped for her while waiting for the NYC ball to fall last night! (Yes, DH and I stayed awake until 1 a.m. EST--something we hadn't done in a lonnnnnng time.)

I used the pretty Notebook papers from CTMH, Connections Club charms, dimensional elements alphabets, spot-on background stamps, chocolate and tulip inks, chocolate rub-on flourishes, twilight marker, and M*s ribbons.

Thank You, Lord, for Beth, and for all her gifts she uses to help others. Thank You for helping her on her way to becoming a very caring doctor. Thank You for growing her so beautifully both inside and out, and for keeping her faithful to You.
