Apron Power! #10
Barbara--I ran across your blog while checking out another, and saw your apron contest. I LOVE your apron! I wasn't sure how to go about entering the contest, then I saw your email link, and thought I would try that. I am a stay home mom and homeschool teacher to our (so far LOL) six children--8 1/2 yr. old son, 7 yr. old daughter, 5 yr. old daughter, 2 yr. old daughter (will be 3 in January), and 7 month old twin daughters! I am sending a picture along that my husband took tonight of my 3 older girls and myself in our aprons in front of some of our Christmas decorations in the hallway. (I also inset a picture of our 7 month old twin girls!) The 5 year old and 7 year old had just helped me make some yummy "Cracker Cookies" that we are making several batches of for Christmas gifts. I had made the Mocha Cappucino Cheesecake Pie for company that was coming this evening. The 3 girls are each wearing matching handmade aprons with a victorian lady appliqued and embroidered on. These aprons were made by a dear lady in our church who has since passed on to be with the Lord. She was such a godly example, and a dear, dear lady. She was always VERY busy, and always had to have something to do. Even though she spent her last several months in a wheelchair after having her legs amputated due to a medical condition, she still was a great encouragement to all those around her. I would like to tell my girls about the sweet Christian lady that made the aprons they wear and of her godly example. As my twin girls get older, I would love to make two more "victorian lady" aprons for them to wear as well, starting a tradition!

I loved the Nativity Story, too. It really "made" this Christmas special. I saw Mary and Joseph - and ultimately God - in a real way. That's pretty good for a person who has been a Christian for over 30 years!
I didn't know about the actress' pregnancy. It doesn't matter to me - it doesn't change the impact of the film. I pray that she and her child will be drawn to Jesus' side. I, too, am thankful that she kept her baby - and while I don't condone teen pregnancy, neither do I condone taking life thru abortion!
Merry Christmas, Barbara - and thanks for being you!
