My Christmas Gift to You

I have created a Christmas graphic set for you to use on web pages or any purpose you like. You'll find the whole set HERE.

Spiritual Meaning of these graphics:

There are no bright greens or reds in this graphic set.
No tinsel nor festive trees.
The colors are muted and soft
To lead the heart to a blessed place of peace.

This is a tiny community
Snuggled in the gentle snow
And from each and every window
The Light of God's love is aglow.

There burns a fire within the hearth
For we can see its smoke
Wafting toward the heavens
Like each Word that Jesus spoke.

The main feature is the church
With its lighted, lofty spire
May we ever tell Christ's story
And may we never tire.

So here's the meaning of my art
It's simple as can be
Jesus' birth and death and Life
Means you can eternal be.

10 Commandments of Christmas
Submitted by the Crums

1. Thou shalt not put any other holiday traditions or celebrations (not even Santa Claus) above the celebration of our Savior's birth and the deep meaning of His life, teachings, and sacrifices.

2. Thou shalt look at thy life and make at least one positive change as your gift to the Savior at His birthday celebration.

3. Thou shalt have many traditions, especially those types of traditions that remind you of the Savior, give service to others, and bring your family closer together.

4. Thou shalt remember those who are alone and help them to have a "Merry Christmas" also.

5. Thou shalt give gifts of worth and not merely add to another's collection of clutter simply for the sake of "giving a gift'. Give of your self which is the way Savior gave.

6. Thou shalt value the effort and thought put into gifts received. Just as with the widow's mite, it is the meaning that gives a gift value not the dollar amount paid.

7. Thou shalt give no gift grudgingly or because you have to. This does not mean to not give the gift to someone, but work until you have changed your own attitude.

8. Thou shalt not become so busy that you don't have time to really enjoy the season.

9. Thou shalt remember that of all the beautiful and expensive gifts, what children want and need most is honor, respect, love, and your time.

10. Above all, Thou shalt find a way to keep the spirit of the Christmas season and of giving all through the year.

Have a Spirit filled Christmas and New Year!
