Today I am joining up with the Currently series and today we are talking about what we are
decorating, feeling, sending, smelling, and wrapping just perfect for this season!
Decorating
Outside and inside!
I will share my inside decorations on a later post, but here are some of the outside decorations. My daughter helped me with some of this.
This lantern by the front door is my new item for this year. I purchased it online from Wal-Mart with curbside parking pick up in the same day. I really am pleased with its look!
My fiddle lig leaf tree has about out grown my window ledge inside!
Feeling
A mix of things.....thankful for so much, fighting some anxiety, excitement, curiousity, so just a mixed bag for sure. In the midst of all this, feeling thankful Jesus is my consistent hope.
Sending
Christmas cards!
We received our Christmas cards in the mail over the weekend so my goal is to mail them next week. I received our first card this week, which is always fun to get.
Smelling
Christmas candles & wax melts!
I love having a candle burning, especially in the evening as we watch tv. I also just got a candle warmer and purchased some wax melts for it. I have enjoyed using that in my kitchen to give it some good fall scents.
Wrapping
Presents to go under the tree!
This is my goal for next week.....catch up on Christmas movies and wrap presents! My tree is currently decorated, but bare of gifts.
Have a great day!
Your home looks beautiful! I love that lamppost at the front door, it's very Narnia- like. I'm sorry to read that you're battling anxiety right now. I know how that feels and will pray for you, specifically that the Lord would give you rest each night and peace of mind everyday. I feel so defeated every time I battle anxiety- I struggle with that as well, if you didn't know that. I have been trying to be very careful about what I spend time on and with not being too idle, because that's when the enemy thrives in my own life. So, I read a lot, I have worship music going all day, I spend time with Jesus everyday and I am doing a bible study with a friend who lives far away, so I'm keeping up with that. All of those things combined really help me. Like I said, I will be praying for you, my friend, because I can totally sympathize. I hope your day goes well today!
ReplyDeleteI love your decorations...so warm and cozy. I have been using lots of wax melts, since it is easier to leave unattended (while I'm still at home) than a candle. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI love your lantern. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteI tend to use only wax melts or those electric candle warmers since I am just awful at remembering to blow out my candles. Your decorations are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove all your decorations! I have a lot of my gifts wrapped, so I need to get those around the tree. It's always fun to see them all together.

The lantern is super cute!! Looks perfect there. So glad that Jesus is our hope and an anchor....always but especially during December. Definitely a hard month for me - but He has already given me extra peace this year. It's still early...but I'm feeling much more hopeful than I usually do at this time. Here's to a peace-filled week ahead.
