Tree Sentiment Free Digital

Hello!

You know, I can't believe how fast the last three months have gone. I remember being told that when you're older, time just seems to go by faster even though you may be getting less done. I do remember as a child that 5 or 10 minutes of extra playing time would seem to last for hours. Today, 5 minutes seems to disappear into thin air in no time!

I guess I'm just thinking that way because Christmas is only 10 days away! I have most of my baking to do, all of my wrapping, all of my decorating...my cards are done though; all except the local cards which I'll hand out. I have a busy week ahead of me! In the hustle and bustle of the season, I want to remember what is really important. It's so easy to get wrapped up in it, isn't it? (Lol...that wasn't intentional!)

So, just to remind myself, I did up this little Sentiment Tree of a verse in Isaiah. I've seen a few of these around, but I wanted to do my own! It'd be cute on a card...maybe for next Christmas!
 May the memory of the reason for His coming to earth bring you much peace and comfort as you trust Him in all the things this life may bring your way.

This year we're doing less gifts, and trying to focus a little more on just being together with those we can share with. I'm looking forward to that!  Christmas has become so commercialized that it is becoming very stressful...so I'm working on changing that.

What are you doing this year? Will it be the same as usual, or something different?

Hope you enjoyed my freebie!
Blessings,
Carmen

    How did you know this is my favourite scripture? I remember my teacher reading it out in class, when I was 5 years old, and it made me cry....not sure I completely understood it then, but it somehow touched me....and still does.
    Thank you so much....this will be treasured and used often. :D
