Today’s Reading
Luke 1:32-35 ESV
The angel continued “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.
Today’s Activity
Today, use the last of your woodland gatherings to make a wreath for your home.
Simply take your garden wire and form a rough circle shape, two or three times, entwining the wire as you go.
Once you have your basic wreath shape, simply tuck in short sprigs of evergreen, such as holly, pine, yew, box and so forth. Attach them well with lengths of twine. Also add in berries, fir cones, seed pods, rose hips, ivy, or whatever else takes your fancy!
This will be a truly special decoration for your home, made with love, and representative of your family’s own special nature spot.
Display with pride!
