>Fingerprint Friday – The Reason for the Season

>There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:

I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it’s true
You’re a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you’re covered with the fingerprints of God


So look around you and see where YOU can see God’s fingerprints in your life & the world around you. Pop over to The Rusted Chain for more Fingerprint Friday inspiration.

(Mom made this one for Hubby & me our 1st Christmas together) 

My mom loved Christmas. It was her favorite holiday season. She truly focused on the reason we celebrate Christmas, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. My parents worked at making sure my sister and I knew that the holiday season wasn’t about Santa Claus but about God sending His Son to earth with a salvation plan. Easter wasn’t the start of God’s plan of Salvation. Christmas was. Easter could not have happened with out Christ being born.

As I was decorating the house for Christmas I set up the various nativity sets I have around the family room. Charlie watched what I was doing as I explained to him what they were, where they came from and what they signified. He identified all the main characters – Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Wise Men, Shepherds. Later I noticed that Charlie had rearranged every single nativity set I had so carefully set out.

All of the supporting people and animals were in a circle looking into the middle where Baby Jesus was. Charlie said that was what the other people were there for – to look at Baby Jesus – so that is the way they should be put.

I am grateful that my son reminded me of what the focus of Christmas is and should be – the Christ Child. I see God’s fingerprint in my son every single day.

Matthew 1:21 – “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
