Nov 30 Thankfulness Photo - Christmas Carols

Wow! I did it! I shot and posted 30 photos for November! I am throughly proud of myself and truly amazed at a few of the shots I got with my camera. I'm finishing off November with a glimpse into my December - Christmas Carols! I will be on the road tomorrow headed home to Missouri and ready to pull out the Christmas decor, music, and merriness! 
I am thankful for Christmas carols, no other holiday has so many good songs to sing during it's peak. (No other holiday lasts so long either) I love how Christ centered they are, many of our hymns and songs can become too "problematic us" centered. Really Christmas songs should be sung all year round, they are so good!

Here is my favorite Christmas carol written by Ron Hamilton…

            Born to Die
    On the night Christ was born
    Just before the break of morn,
    As the stars in the sky were fading,
    O'er the place where He lay,
    Fell a shadow cold and gray
    Of a cross that would humble a King.

      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    Jesus knew when He came
    He would suffer in shame,
    He could feel ev'ry pain and sorrow.
    But He left Paradise,
    With His blood He paid the price -
    My redemption to Jesus I owe.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    From His throne Jesus came,
    Laid aside Heaven's fame
    In exchange for the cross of Calv'ry;
    For my gain suffered loss,
    For my sin He bore the cross -
    He was wounded and I was set free.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    Dearest Lord, evermore
    May Thy cross I adore
    As I follow the path to Calv'ry;
    Of Thy death I partake,
    My ambition I forsake -
    All my will I surrender to Thee.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.


      Thank you for all who joined me this November in my trek of photography and remembering Thankfulness. I learned from myself this month and found many theme's challenging. I will not be continuing to post everyday or even to post pictures, but please drop by occasionally as I will be continuing with other things. (I just haven't decided what quite yet!)

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem.  Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch!  You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Day 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God,  and renew a right spirit within me.  What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache.  When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...
