A Branch Shall Grow Out of His Roots
"There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." Isaiah 11:1
Jesus is that Branch! He is the One who was born in the city of David a Savior, Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11) Here at A Mother's Rewards we are doing something brand new this Christmas season. We are creating a Jesse Tree.
A Jesse Tree can take many different shapes and forms. Some may be sewn of cloth. Others may be constructed of paper. A Christmas tree, branches, whatever a person is able to use works just fine. Each day of the advent season we read a devotion and put an ornament that represents that day's devotion on our tree. The devotional we are using came to us by way of http://www.aholyexperience.com/. A Jesus Advent Celebration...every day unwraps more of His love ~ Jesse Tree Journey by Ann Voskamp and Nancy Rodden is the ebook devotional that is becoming one of my new favorite parts of the Christmas season. Each day I am refreshed and my focus is redirected towards Christ. The peace that renewed focus brings is a gift beyond compare. I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again "I am one Blessed Mama", and it's all because of Jesus.
Time is rapidly speeding by. It won't be long until Christmas has come and past. Long after the lights have been dimmed and the wrappings thrown away the love of God through Christ will still be flowing through those who know and love Him. May the blessings of Christmas be yours in greater measure.
