rejoice

i just know you woke up this morning wondering what my favorite christmas decoration is this year. 

 

i think the nativity trumps all other decorations.

even the beloved christmas tree.

 

our nativity looked all brown and boring.
it looked sad.

i added the word rejoice up there.
just because it was an easy cheap way to add some happy color.
that one word has become my favorite christmas decoration this year.
so many times i have caught myself singing
rejoice!  rejoice!  emmanuel...

that is all the words i can remember to that song,
but it keeps reminding me of the real meaning of christmas.
i like that.

so, i encourage you to go add a "word" to your home

 that reminds you of the real meaning of christmas.
