Winter's A'Coming!

Cool weather has set in. Several days ago we awoke to glistening frost covering everything in sight. It was beautiful!The weathermen are predicting snow on Thursday. The beautiful snowflakes falling down remind us of God's wonderful creation. When we are creating things, we can only imagine a limited number of patterns, but of the millions upon millions of snowflakes that fall everywhere, our awesome God chose to make every one unique.


The Christmas season is upon us. Our cabin is decorated, except for the tree. Hopefully we will cut one this weekend. Mrs. Coyote looks festive in her Santa hat.

For many years we have searched for a manger scene that has a removable baby Jesus. We are so excited to have finally found one this past year. Our manger remains empty until Christmas morning in great expectation of the arrival of the Christ-child. After we read the Christmas story first thing on Christmas morning, it is with anticipation that we find Him filling the manger. Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas! He is the one we look forward to on Christmas morning as everything at Christmas-time centers around Him. If He hadn't been born, we would have no hope of salvation! Our God is good!
