Inspired by Barry McDonald
This man inspires me!! I complain about having to carry the laundry upstairs. HE is running TWELVE back to back marathons over 12 days!!!!!! He cares about the plight of women and children in Haiti. Click on Barry McDonald’s picture for the whole story. Perhaps we could devote those 12 days to pray for this man on a mission who is using his gifts to do good in the name of Christ. He inspires me!! much love- Lis
Merry Christmas from the Williams Family!
Merry Christmas and MUCH LOVE from the Williams family! — From Luke 2 in the Message: “The angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master. This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger.” At once the angel was joi…ned by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises: Glory to God in the heavenly heights, Peace to all men and women on earth who please him!” As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. “Let’s get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.” They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed. Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself. The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they’d been told!” SHARE THE GOOD NEWS IN 2013!!!! with love, in Jesus – Lisa

My Momma’s Taffy Bars
These are the cookies that make it taste like Christmas at my house. I’m not sure why they are called “taffy bars” because they aren’t taffy, but they taste very sweet and yummy. When I was a little girl, Momma won the Louisiana State Fair cookie competition with these. Enjoy!

The ADVENTure of Christmas
From the book The ADVENTure of Christmas (Helping Children Find Jesus in our Holiday Traditions) by Lisa Whelchel.
I know you’ve heard of Christmas cookies and Christmas carols, but have you ever heard of the Christmas code? It just may be that the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is really about more than partridges and golden rings.
For nearly three hundred years, it was against the law in England to be a member of the Catholic church. Well, that didn’t keep Catholic parents from wanting to teach their children about God, but in order to do so they had to be creative.
And here is where we leave the world of certain history and move into the misty realm of legends. As the story goes, several of these concerned parents got together and wrote “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” They used a secret code hidden in the song to teach their children about the things of God. Let me crack the code for you!
“My true love” represents God, who gives all the gifts listed in the song.
“A partridge in a pear tree” is Jesus, who gave His life on a tree (the cross).
“Two turtle doves” symbolize the Old and New Testaments.
“Three French hens” are faith, hope, and love.
“Four calling birds” speak of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke , and John.
“Five golden rings” correspond to the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch.
“Six geese a-laying” stand for the six days of creation.
“Seven swans a-swimming” are the seven gifts of the Spirit (Romans 12:6-8).
“Eight maids a-milking” point to the eight beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10).
“Nine ladies dancing” signify the nine fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
“Ten lords a-leaping” represent the Ten Commandments.
“Eleven pipers piping” are the eleven faithful disciples. And finally…
“Twelve drummers drumming” call to mind the twelve points of the Apostle’s Creed.
Learning this song would help the children remember some important facts about Christianity. Best of all, they could sing it publicly! When they did, they declared their allegiance to the King of kings.
