Christmas in Oregon
I thought this was a cute ornament that was for sell at the gift shop. On my computer it is a little dark. It depicts what this season really is all about. That our Lord and Savior came to save us all. What a wonderful time it is to reflect on our lives and ask our selves how well do we know our Savior. Do we put in the time each day to let him know we are grateful for all he does for us? Do we show our love and gratitude for him by keeping his commandments and serving those around us? My challenge is to give a gift to the Savior this Christmas and promise to follow through with it all year long. To write it down and put it in a place where I will see it each day, so that I will always remember the whole year through.
I love the look of these old St. Nick's. Santa reminds me so much of the Savior. Santa comes to bring joy to our lives and is that not what the mission of the Savior was and is. To bring the joy that we all seek for each day of our lives!
Here you have the cute church and homes that we go to each day. If we work at it we can have the spirit in our homes and in our churches. I like the way the glitter reflects the light.
When I took this pictures I was looking at the Santa ornaments that are hanging on the chain. But if you look to the left of the chain you will see the cling-on on the window of the American Flag. I like the way Patti and Terry have the flag hanging on their property. This is a great nation! We are truly blessed to get to live here and stand for truth and righteousness.
There are only two of these little bird houses left. They really add to the look of the gift shop. I love the spirit that you feel when I visit the tree farm. The first time we ever went out to the farm my daughter Ana and I truly felt like we were somewhere special. Terry and Patti have diligently worked at bringing this farm back to what it was when Barney and Lillian were the owners. So many families have been going there to get their tree for 20+ years and have made it a family tradition. If you would like to visit their web site it is: lochlollychristmastreeforest.com
