Church Picture

Rarely do I see something on Instagram and think, "Oh, I have to have that!" There are lots of, "Ooooh, that's pretty!" or "If I found that at a yard sale, wouldn't that be awesome?" Now, let's clear up the "have" part...I don't have to "have" anything, but the church theme (being a pastor's home, here), the colors matching my dresser, and the fact that it came from Kirklands so it would be closer to my budget than some fancy online company had me reeeeeealllly wanting this picture. *Yes, I'm fully aware that previous sentence would flunk me out of English grammar class.
 
We were in town with a Kirklands and so I ran in to see if they had them. There was one on the shelf and I picked it up, but there was no price tag. I sat it back down and wandered around the store. Finally, I decided to just ask the cashier and if it was too much, I'd just turn it down. After more than one person looking it up in their data base and finally finding it in their books behind the counter, they found the price and it was even on sale! Saweet!
 
 
 
 
For now, I have it above my dresser. It's a different shape than most pics, so it was a little more challenging to style. And, if you've been around here for awhile, you know it'll move eventually. ;)

Church Decor

I wish I could do justice by these pictures, for they really are not capturing how pretty our church looks decorated for Christmas. It is a Winter Wonderland and the lights give it a soft, calming feel that makes you wanna pause and slow down and reflect on Christ's birthday.
 
Every year, it turns out just a smidge different. This year our children's program will have a "singing Christmas tree" and then the stable will be set up.
  
 
We picked up the trees throughout yard sale season and it made for cheap, beautiful décor.
 
 
 
 
 This song has really been on my mind this year, so I thought I would share:
 

YOUR PRESENCE FOR CHRISTMAS

 Author Unknown

In the busy Christmas noise,
All the light, the bells, the toys,
I have found You are the only source
Of comfort and joy.

Lord, I want Your presence for Christmas.
I want Your presence for Christmas.
I long to feel Your spirit speaking peace to my heart.
Of all the gifts I may receive,
There’s only one I really need.
And it’s Your presence,
Your presence for Christmas.

When this holiday is through,
And the year is fresh and new,
What will linger are the moments spent,
My Lord, just worshiping You.

Lord, I want Your presence for Christmas.
I want Your presence for Christmas.
I long to feel Your spirit speaking peace to my heart.
Of all the gifts I may receive,
There’s only one I really need.
And it’s Your presence,
Your presence for Christmas.
 
 
 
 May your season be blessed,
