Woody has had a much better day. One of the first things that he did after getting up (well, probably he took his pills first) was to get started making Chex Mix. I woke up to that wonderful smell wafting up the stairs...made me know that it must be the Christmas season, as it has become a Christmas tradition for Woody to make our Chex Mix each year. He made two big batches...which we will use for gifts and for munching on over the holidays...I probably did a bit too much munching...it is sooooooooo good! I made banana lemon tea bread. That smelled wonderful as it was baking, also. I also made chili today. Woody went to the library and stopped at the grocery store to pick up a couple of items that we needed. He came home and watched a couple of DVDs and also some football this afternoon. He has also read. He sort of took it easy today after his not so great day yesterday. But he definitely feels much better today. I haven't managed to do much Christmas secret sewing today...I'm hoping to get going on it again in a few minutes. By the way, this is my 350th blog post for this year!
These acorns that hang on our Christmas tree are a reminder that great things come from small beginnings...as an old Latin saying goes: "Tall oaks from little acorns grow." According to legend, the acorn is a symbol of how hard work pays off over time...acorns have potential that is deep within...we all have such potential within ourselves. There can also be Christian comparisons/symbolism with the acorn: a mighty oak comes from humble beginnings...an acorn...likewise, Christ came to live on this earth as a tiny babe... a very humble beginning...born in a stable and having a manger for his first bed...as Christians, we base our eternal life on a Person who came from humble beginnings...Jesus...born in a stable...Jesus...sent to be Savior for the world. The ultimate illustration of "humble to Mighty!"
"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
