The  Spirit Of  Christmas

The event of Christ is the

only event in human history

 that promises relocation and

centering, meaning and purpose.

 This promise and its fulfillment

evoke passionate

and heartfelt praise and thanks,

especially for those

aware of their own brokenness and the

healing which Christ brings into their lives.

~Robert Webber

Good Tidings 

Late on a sleepy, star-spangled night,

 those angels peeled back the sky just

 like you would tear open a

sparkling Christmas present.

Then, with light and joy pouring out of

 Heaven like water through a broken dam,

they began to shout and sing the message

 that baby Jesus had been born.

The world had a Savior!

The angels called it

 "Good News,"and it was.

~Larry Libby

The Spirit Of Christ

The spirit of Christmas needs to be 

superseded by the Spirit of Christ.

The spirit of Christmas is annual;

the Spirit of Christ is eternal.

 The spirit of Christmas is sentimental;

the Spirit of Christ is supernatural.

 The spirit of Christmas is a human product;

the Spirit of Christ is a divine person.

That makes all the difference in the world.

~Stuart Briscoe

What is Christmas?

It is tenderness for the past,

courage for the present,

It is a fervent wish that

 every cup may overflow

with blessings rich and eternal,

 and that every path may lead to peace.

~Agnes M. Pharo

The Love Of God

As we prepare for our traditional celebrations,

 let us remember those who will not be

 looking forward to this festival.

 Let us remember too how Jesus identified

 with the oppressed and the homeless.

 Let the joy of the festival touch more of the

 people of our world this year than ever before.

 May God be glorified and may people of

good will once again experience His peace.

~Denzil John

The Gifts From God

In spite of the many benefits

God has blessed us with,

how many times do we complain

about little difficulties and trials?

 We lose sight of the big picture and fail to

 appreciate the really important things.

Just as we cannot benefit from a wrapped gift

under a Christmas tree until we open it,

so gratitude can be seen as our way of opening

the gift of God's love intended by all the

small and big positive events of our lives.

~Ronda De Sola Chervin

Thanks Be To God

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable Gift—

indescribable, inestimable,

incomparable inexpressible -

 precious beyond words.

~Lois Lebar

Unto You This Day

And she will bear a Son,

and you shall call His name Jesus,

 for it is He who will save

 His people from their sins.

~Matthew 1:21



Whatever else be lost among the years,

Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing:

Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,

 Let us hold close one day, remembering

Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men.

Let us get back our childlike faith again.

~Grace Noll Crowell

 



Eternal God, this holy night is radiant

with the brilliance of your one true light.

May that light illuminate our hearts and

shine in our words and deeds.

May the hope, the peace, the joy,

 and the love represented by the

 birth in Bethlehem this night fill our

 lives and become part of all that

 we say and do.

May we share the divine life

 of your son Jesus Christ,

even as he humbled himself

to share our humanity.

Amen.

~Rev. Richard J. Fairchild

Beautiful Christmas Alphabet Clip Art 

Today, I am posting  a  lovely Alphabet for you!!

When you begin creating  with these letters,

 I can assure you that the 

craft possibilities are endless!  

Let me give you a few ideas to start with...

You can  dress up your gift tags

 with this elegent lettering!

Give you homemade Christmas Cards

 that nostalgic touch!

Cut out the letters to form all kinds of words!

 For instance:

 select the letters for a word, cut them out,

add glitter, and glue them on a

ornate shaped die-cut made out of 

 pretty christmas paper.or solid colored foil.

Use your card stock on the

back of your Christmas paper,

punch a hole or two at the top,

tie a ribbon, and you have a

really neat ornament for your tree!

 

Even  transparencey sheets would

 work great with this project!

You can  cut the sheet  in a pretty shape,

glue the letters on, add some glitter,

 stickers,and ribbon to embellish!

Voila! A beautiful ornament!! 

When you hang it on your tree at night,

with the lights all a glow, or in your window,

 the letters will appear as they are

floating against the transparency of

the ornament's background!

You could also cut the letters out and create a 

Cheery and Festive Holiday Sign

for you door to warmly welcome

the guests that will be coming to visit!!

Here's another neat idea:

  cut out the names of your children and glue them

on a  sheet of cute Christmas card stock !

Hang them on your tree or display them on

your mantle, a table, or a festive centerpiece.  

Use them as place cards as you are 

setting the dining room table  for 

your delightful Christmas feast!

Fold the card stock in half  before you glue the letters

on so they will sit upright by each place setting!

 They'll look splendid on your festive table!

If you have little ones, make a mobile

out of their names or other words,

add lots of glitter and sequins, and place the mobile

 in a room where the words will catch the light

 (in that certain, special way)

so that they will sparkle and shine everywhere!

 And won't your tiny tots love to watch their names,

 glitter and glow, as their reflection is cast

all around the room! 

     

O.K. enough of my ideas...

Now it's your turn!

Get busy and start creating your

 own special Christmas crafts! 

Have Fun!!

A Very Glitzey Christmas Project

I found two projects that I
wanted to share with you today! 

You will learn how to create your own
 unique  snowflakes to decorate your tree,

windows, Christmas Cards, and wreaths! 

These projects are great for adults

 and children to do together!

 Ready? O.K.!!

MAKE YOUR OWN SNOWFLAKES!!

Project  One:

Glitter Snowflakes

Materials Needed:

clip art sheets of snow flakes

plastic circle template

glitter glue

glue stick 

card stock

Christmas paper

hole punch

ribbon

Directions:

Trace around the snowflakes
with a plastic circle template. 

Trace the same size circle that
you  traced for your snowflake on the
card stock and the Christmas paper.

Add the glitter to your snowflake and let it dry.

 Glue the snowflake circle onto the card stock circle. 

Glue the Christmas paper circle onto the

back of the card stock circle to give your

 ornament a festive look on both sides!

MORE TIPS!!!

 Trace the circles of card stock

and the Christmas paper one size larger 

 than the circle of the snowflake.

 

For even more detail and dimension
 to your snowflake ornament, you can
 trace the circle for the Christmas paper
 another size larger than the card stock circle!

Instead of using the printed Christmas paper,
 substitute shiny, foil Christmas paper in
solid colors of gold, silver, red, or green paper
to glue on the back of the card stock circle.

For some Extra Pizazzzzzz,
You can also use the shiny paper to glue on
the front of the card stock before you
glue the snowflake on the card stock circle!

Use decorative scissors to cut the circles with

 to jazzzzz up the edges of the ornament!

Add glitter to the Christmas paper that 
is glued on the back of the ornament

 for even more BLING!!

Use lace instead of ribbon for the tie on the ornament!

Use Glow in the Dark glue and regular glitter

on the black background/white snowflakes sheets ! 

Your kids will love the effect of glowing snowflakes in the dark!

  

Remember!!! 

The clip art  sheets have been reduced

in size to insure that all of the  details
