Our Christmas Picture

Taking our Christmas photo this year was special and unknowingly so. Jody took the time to match all our outfits and put a bow on the tree. Most people might think that is not such a big deal, but you should know why we are posed in such a setting. Jody also took the time to hand make (stamping up) over 100 cards. These cards had a similar picture of a tree with a red bow on top. Inside was the following poem. (author unknown)


I had a dream one wintry night

As the moon was full and bright

The snow fell softly on a tree

That stood alone, just like me

Then I saw Jesus walking by

His caring look caught my eye

He put a bow upon that tree

A symbol of His love for me

I woke up thinking of what I’d dreamed

Amazed at just how real it seemed

Then through my window I saw the bow

With ribbons glowing down the tree

Just like the blood He shed for me

I was in awe of the beautiful bow

Then I saw

His footprints in the snow.

We pray you see Jesus in all you do

this Christmas Season


As you will see in the next post: it was Christmas Eve when Jody was diagnosed with CML.
