A Continual Christmas

2008

"Let no pleasure tempt thee, 
no profit allure thee, 
no persuasion move thee, 
to do anything which thou knowest to be evil; 
so shalt thou always live jollity; 
for a good conscience is a continual Christmas."

 - Benjamin Franklin

  2. I like this photo so much, I remember my own children laying under our trees when they were much younger but I don't have a photo of them doing so.
    Would you believer even my 5 year old granddaughter is figuring out the true meaning - her mom says whenever anyone asks Elizabeth what she wants for Christmas, Elizabeth replies she doesn't need anything and just wants everyone to have a nice Christmas.

  3. Good morning Laura,

    Are those children just enjoying the view from beneath the tree? We used to do that as children - what a special memory. I always hang special ornaments at the bottom of my tree for children who might find that cozy place.

    Happy Monday,
    ♥Hope

  4. Hi Hope,
    Yes, I think they were. I don't remember doing it myself, but no matter what our tree looked like, it was magical to me.
    Blessings from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to you Hope!

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
