All is Merry and Bright at StoneGable this year. Even though the weather is very unseasonably warm and wet here and not at all like the cold and frosty Christmases we are used to, it’s the perfect weather to keep our Christmas lights on all day long! The trees and mantel shine brightly and the lit candles leave a warm glow. The spotlights outside break through the fog and makes StoneGable look luminous! The Christmas lights shine forth in the gloominess of the day and make our whole home looks warm and magical! This reminds me of The Light that came to earth over 2,000 years ago as a new born baby. He broke through the darkness of this world to bring it light! His light shone brightly then… as it still shines today!
The true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of that Light, Jesus… The Christ… the Savior of the world! It’s my deepest desire that Jesus would illuminate your Christmas too! He and he alone is the true source of peace, comfort and joy!
May your home be bright with family and fun and laughter and all the precious gifts Christmas brings! May the greatest Gift to the world be honored in your home this Christmas and in the New Year.
I cannot express how much you are on my mind when I count my blessings! I want you to know that I pray for all of you and thank God because of you and wish you all the greatest blessings our great Lord can bestow!
You are so dear to me. You are a huge blessing in my life! And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting and commenting and making StoneGable a part of your day! I am so humbled by your graciousness and friendship!!!
Have a MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS my dear friends. Lots of love, Yvonne xo
Could you, please, start showing the dates you are posting? It would be helpful since Pinterest has been online for a number of years. I would like to know if Iām reading something from 2011 or 2021.
Most of my posts are “evergreen” or the content in them is relevant no matter the date. Most bloggers do not put the dates on their posts because it is an outdated practice and really not important.
Yvonne,
This is was the first year without my mother and mother in law and there was a great void in preparing for and celebrating Christmas. Your message, which I just read today, really touched me. Thank you for the message of hope and comfort through our Father.
I am so sorry for your losses Carol Ann. Can you imagine how this Christmas is for your mom and mother-in-law?
What an inspiring message. This is my first visit to your site, and I will surely return. I send my warmest wishes to you for a joyous holiday season and a new year filled with love, happiness and peace.
Welcome to the StoneGable family, Adri!
Yvonne, your message is beautiful. I welcome your Sunday Scriptures; they way surpass the homilies at my church. You have inspired me with your fabulous decor the past four going on five years. I read your posts faithfully and can’t wait to order your book when it is published.
