I love baking this time of the year, these are gifts for friends and the boys teachers, I am looking forward to making my christmas cake soon and more edible presents.
I found these beautiful snowflake clay ornaments I included with the teachers gifts.
Our 'Jesse Tree'. A new tradition we are starting this year using our advent calendar.
Now this Jesse Tree that our hearts climb high in this season of waiting, it's named after the Jesse who was the father of David, the first royal branch in the tree of the Messiah to come, David to whom God promised that his line and his sons and his family would be King forever. And when his sons and grandsons and great grandsons turned from God an loved sin more than their Father and their Kingdoms fell, and it seemed as though the whole royal family tree of Jesse had been chopped right off at the roots, our covenant, promise keeping God, He vowed, "Out of the stump of David's family will grow a shoot - yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root... In that day the heir to David's throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to him, and the land where he lives will be a glorious place." (Isa 11:1,10) Ann Voskamp A Jesse Tree Journey
My new wreath, I adored decorating.
May you enjoy this season of waiting and remember it is only Christ alone who can make Christmas.
