Melodic. Beautiful. Soul-stirring. It makes me remember why I'm here, why Christ came, why it is what it is before there was tinsel or candy canes or gifts under a tree.<br /><br />It was a baby, cold and bereft, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger...<br /><br />A baby that a wicked king wanted dead and three pretty smart dudes longed to see.<br /><br />Amazing. A miracle.<br /><br />And each blessed baby, each little one (and don't you just LOVE that pic of those little ones? They're my little friends, the children I watch by day despite my idiosyncrasies, LOL!<br /><br />We make cookies, we dress up, we pretend, we learn letters and numbers and how cool Jesus is. Dude, he rocks!) is so perfect, such a wonderful blessing!!! I love babies!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533180715823490986.post-47163335794274322262010-12-09T14:21:38.350-05:002010-12-09T14:21:38.350-05:00My favorite part of winter is definitly Christmas....My favorite part of winter is definitly Christmas. It's a shame that it comes so early in the season because once Christmas is over, I have absolutely no use for winter. Though I will say I'm with Renee on the "snow days." I'm married to a teacher/ coach/ pastor. Sometimes snow days are the only time we get to see him in the winter. <br /><br />I'm assuming (since Hannah informed me of this blog today *thanks for that, btw* )that I'm not too late for the giveaway. So count me in!<br /><br />andeemarie95@gmail.comAndrea Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561504163570350209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533180715823490986.post-47357504786993932392010-12-09T11:54:44.383-05:002010-12-09T11:54:44.383-05:00My favorite part of winter is Christmas and the sn...My favorite part of winter is Christmas and the snow. I love spending time with family, some you only get to see once a year. From a photographer's point of view, snow can be so captivating and beautiful. It is very cold, and awful to drive in, but it's just another wonder of mother nature to be amazed by. maybeitsmallory@hotmail.comMalloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589044078041288717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533180715823490986.post-2600232781068119442010-12-09T10:18:07.519-05:002010-12-09T10:18:07.519-05:00Great interview, Hannah and Ruthy!

Isn't that song of Ruthy's sad though....man....you've really got to reflect after that one. <br /><br />I didn't realize you were a New Yorker!

The version I listened to included some haunting photos. So that plus today's mystery song were a bit sad. But I guess together they're a good reminder of why we need Jesus in this life! . . . I was glad to read Ruthy Revealed. I always enjoy her comments when I lurk over at Seekerville. And even tho' I'm an upstate New Yorker, I'm too far away--so I missed out on meeting her like Joy and Julia did! I'm working my way through the Seeker books, but I know folks have loved the ones Ruth writes. How generous to offer a giveaway . . . Thanks for all the great posts this month!

They're very, very time consuming BUT you know....it's worth it I'd say. I am getting SO vamped up for this holiday season. Lol...it feels like it's started but not at the same time, you know? I mean, I'm home every weekend and usually at least once during the week, but it's still just not the same. Soon though....the rest of this week and I'm officially home! I only have 2 finals next week and I'm just going to commute for them because you couldn't pay me to stay ; ) <br /><br />We HAVE seen the movie *sniffle sniffle* Soooo sad, but it's really good. Did you know there's a sequel? Alicia was telling me that there are actually a couple books now...*shrug* I don't know! Yep I guess she's right!
