God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea Book Give-Away ~ Getting Ready for Christmas

Our manger scene

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NKJV)
 
One of my friends described the Christmas scene at her house, naming decorations and symbols of Christmas that she has put in place. 

“But this is my favorite Christmas decoration of all,” she wrote about her manger scene. 

A tiny figure of baby Jesus surrounded by figurines of Mary, Joseph, shepherds, and magi represent the greatest story ever told.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  Luke 2:10-11 (KJV)

We also like to decorate with evergreen  trees and wreaths .  To me, the evergreen represents eternal life.  (John 11:25-26)

And all the beautiful lights, to dispel the darkness, like Jesus does, and as he asks us to do.

Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world:  he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  John 8:12

Indeed, Jesus is the best gift of all, the reason we decorate and celebrate His birth.  I hope these symbols and decorations will bring joy  to you and your family this holiday season and remind you of God’s promises.

 
Now, as promised, I’m giving away another copy of my devotional journal.  I hope you’ll participate.  I love getting this blessed seller into the hands of more readers.

    Would like to be considered for the free "signed" copy of your devotional book. For some reason, I do better with having the actual book in hand.

    Love the nativity scene - I have a small collection of them and that's what we do instead of a tree at Christmas. I am also a "book in my hands" kind of gal and publisher writer too! Blessings.

    Would absolutely LOVE to have a signed copy for my collection! There's just something about an actual physical book. Love flipping the pages and all! Ebooks are good, but those books in hand are even more special. Love that Nativity scene, too! How precious! ;-] Add me to your drawing, please! shelley@where2.org

    Thanks Shelley! The Nativity scene was purchased in 1980 or so. It's precious to us. Thanks for participating!
