christmas decorating 09

Every year I always take photos of our Christmas deco day. I don't know why, but this year was very willy, nilly. No great photos but here are some memories for us.
Damsel loves to be in charge of the Nativity.

We must hang our special airplane collection..of coarse.

This is our official ceiling airplane hanger this year.


Christmas Bear is happy to be out for the season.

Dad is stuck trying to work on these pesky lights..you know a section always wants to peter out on everyone??
What a handsome smile..I am keeping this one!! :)

I am praying you all have a low stress, Christmas season and that you remember WHO it is all about. JESUS is the reason for this precious season!!

Cool picture of yet another creation of God's! The beautiful clouds and God giving people the brains to figure out how to fly! Yes Christmas is all about Jesus.

I was just going through my blog and noticed that you left me a note once...so I came over to visit.

Although I've only read through one entry, I am struck by the wonderful stories and pictures you've published. I can't wait to delve deeper!

Be well & Merry Christmas!

Why MAGNANIMOUS?

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:
MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.
