Day 16

It's difficult to choose a favorite of anything for me. Choosing my favorite Christmas song is no exception. I have been pondering this prompt all day and I finally decided on one Christmas song I really enjoy. Christmas Shoes, always brings a tear to my eye. It is such a sweet song and it really speaks to the true meaning of Christmas and importance of our love for one another. If you want to feel something, listen to this...

                                       

I helped put up the tree today and put lights on it. I'll share a photo of our Christmas tree with the first step of decorating on it. This is relevant today, I promise, because I listened to my Pandora Christmas station while I was stringing the lights!

The red lights cast a funny color on my face but I still think light photos are neat

It needs trimmed...the branches are a little wild at the top!!

Day 16: Favorite Christmas Song

I have been super excited about today's photo. My most favorite things about the Christmas season, aside from the awesomeness of remembering Christ's birth and hope for the whole world, is Christmas songs. I love how the songs are able to explain the hope Christ brings by coming into the world with us, for all of us. It brings my soul much joy and peace listening to the songs. I am posting the picture for today's challenge but I am also including a link to listen to my favorite Christmas song. Without further ado my favorite Christmas song, for your viewing and listening pleasure, Peace Has Come by Hillsong.
                        Peace Has Come

Day 15: Decorations

If there's something I've learned about life it is to let go of perfection. Yesterday I didn't post because I forgot to get a picture of the decorations I wanted to post. Today I was going to skip it again because I forgot to snap a picture before I left home again. So this picture is not the picture I intended to post, but there's still a story.

This is a small decoration in my office that I made myself. The tutoring team was hosting a focus group for their volunteers and there were extra materials to make these. It's really a picture frame, but we decorated it to become a dry erase board. I keep this quote on my desk now to remind myself to just keep going.

Day 16: Favorite Christmas Song

This one also stumped me because I didn't know how to take a picture of a song. Then Captain said she was going to take a screenshot of a YouTube clip, possibly because she just figured out how to take screenshots on her phone. I've really been enjoying the lyrics feature on Spotify, so I took a picture of a favorite Christmas song on that music player. 

I won't say this is my absolute favorite because I'm not sure how to pick a favorite. This is one of my favorites. I like that it reminds me that even though sometimes I feel judged when I read the Bible that really Jesus came to the earth to bring joy. It also reminds me that I have to make room in my heart to let him in. It's just a happy song.
