Yes, it’s December. It’s cold. It may even be snowy where you are (I’m envious!) but regardless of your location, it’s the perfect time to bundle up, grab a basket, and head outdoors to search for things to create a holiday table centerpiece.
- Pine cones
- Evergreen branches
- Berries (if there aren’t small children in the home)
- Sculptured bare branches
- Nuts
- Acorns
- Fruit
As you walk, consider pointing out the details of God’s magnificent handiwork. When you return home, place a large white candle in the center, sharing how Christ is the true light, the light of all mankind (read John 1).
Capturing ordinary moments for God’s glory releases extraordinary possibilities.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You
shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them
when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you
lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Day 11: Simple Ways to Share Christ this Christmas
I LOVE the significance of the large white candle!! That's something I could include in centerpieces year round. Not that I have centerpieces year round, but it's a good reason to begin 😉
