I have tried to get into the habit of taking my camera most everywhere I go. In doing that, I have been able to snap a few shots that I think are neat.
Like this old barn. I have passed it many times. In the summer it is covered up with fresh green growth and is hard to see. You can really see the structure now. I think it has so much character.
I passed by these beautiful horses when I took a shortcut on a road that I wasn’t familiar with….ended up not being a shortcut….but the view was worth it!
I don’t know what it is about old barns and buildings. I just always think….if these walls could talk, what neat stories they could tell.
When I saw this church, it was the week before Christmas. I remember thinking how special it was this year to have Christmas fall on Sunday! It just seemed to add that extra special touch to be able to celebrate Jesus’ birthday on a Sunday. A day we already set aside to honor and praise Him.
On January the 11th of 2005 my mother passed away. It seemed every holiday after that was so hard to go through without her. However, I remember that first Christmas, we were trying to make a new normal. I remember waking up that morning with such a flood of emotions. All of a sudden my Spirit was lifted as I thought about her getting to celebrate her first Christmas in heaven. I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of special celebration the angels would hold for Christmas Morning in Heaven.
What kind of beautiful music the angels would be singing. Better than any Christmas music we have ever heard on earth. The beauty of heaven…. sparkling in the Light of Christ. More beautiful than any Christmas light display we could ever envision.
I love to hear the song “I can only imagine” by Mercy Me….. It really says it all……I can only imagine….what it will be like.
Luke 2:13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” And that was just a glimpse of the angels celebrating when they came to tell the shepherds!
Yes….it must be a wonderful celebration indeed!
So when I saw this precious country church with its beautiful stained glass windows and….
its beautiful steeple….it just touched my heart.
