If you look for me at Christmas Poem

A friend sent me this poem for Christmas and I thought I would share it... 

                                                                  You won't need a special star...
                                                 to look at from a far

                                                 I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,

                                               I'm right  there where you are.

                     

                                               You may not be aware of Me

                                                       amid the celebrations---

                                               You'll have to look beyond the stores

                                                       and all the decorations.

                                              
                                                But if you take a moment

                                                 from your list of things to do

                                               And listen to your heart, you'll find

                                                 I'm waiting there for you.

                                               
                                               You're the one I want to be with,

                                                  you're the reason that I came,

                                               And you'll find Me in the stillness

                                                  As I'm whispering your name.

                                                              Love,  Jesus

Christmas thin mint Snowman

Isn't this the cutest snowman? It makes a great gift and its soooo easy to make.


Step one:  Buy a box of thin mints.  They have them at the dollar store.


Step two:  Cover the box with white paper, and draw your snowman face.


Step Three:  Cut out a rectangle piece of red felt and fold it in half lengthwise. Hot glue gun the seam.  Glue the felt around the top of the box and add a small bow at the top of the felt hat.  Add a cute ribbon and tag.
