merry christmas!!

love, erin



we grieve.

 and oh we grieve...

 we ache...

 we fear...

 we doubt...

 we curse...

 we question...

oh, how we question...

 but,

in the hazy distance....

there is this flicker.

we KNOW it is there...we don't want to look, but we can't help ourselves...it seems so out of focus right now....

 but it IS there.

 this flicker.

 this light.

 this luminosity.

 this LOVE.

 HIS love.

 HIS big huge LOVE.

and we know it.

and we trust in it.

and we LOVE in it.

and we rest in it.

 

 

i pray that we open the church in our hearts,

and grieve and pray and search out the little flicker of light,

 for all the little students and teachers of the world.



merry, joy, love

 merry, merry, merry

joy, joy, joy

love, love, love

 

happy december!

 i have been decorating away at my humble abode...

the vintage ornament tree on the screen, is something i put together after being inspired by a similar idea i saw on pinterest....i simply wired old ornies onto a compost sifter screen that i pulled in from the garden...i love the look and it was so easy to do.

here is just a hint of what is going on at my home....

lots of whites and neutrals and a nod towards vintage...with just a touch of blue here and there...

    

 i snapped this picture of santa, two years ago at the dickens of christmas celebration here in franklin, tn....i am looking forward to this years dickens celebration, as i will be meeting a fellow blogger there....

i made the "believe" sign by twisting some raffia covered wire.

a glorious time of year, indeedy....

as we decorate and prepare our homes 

for celebration

 in honor of Him.

i will be sharing many more images in the next few weeks....

thank you so much for stopping by.
