This is always the busiest season for me with my artwork combined with responsibilities as a pastor's wife and all the things the holidays bring. But, deep down inside there is a peace that passes understanding even when I can't find the quietness. And thankfulness... great thankfulness.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-5907772364099855692016-12-04T22:23:24.226-08:002016-12-04T22:23:24.226-08:00Beautiful!

Sometimes I have that old habit of getting in my car, feeling like I am late, and get that rush of adrenalin I always felt when I was driving the kids to school in heavy traffic; but then I remind myself to slow down. There's no need to ever rush. I'm happy to step back, relax and just breathe. Happy holidays!Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-28236417714702191592016-12-04T13:35:00.927-08:002016-12-04T13:35:00.927-08:00We're still waiting for the first snowfall her...We're still waiting for the first snowfall here too.

I'll just say that I love your frost photos, but I believe the hellebore photo is my favorite. Such wonderful flowers.<br /><br />I'm glad you've found a way to let the quiet in at this very busy time of the year. If people are too busy, it's easy to miss the miracle of Christ's birth.
