Words of Encouragement for a Special Christmas Ornament

by Kaye Swain on December 9, 2009

I first heard of the kneeling Santa Christmas ornament when my kids were little.

I liked it so much, I now have two of these Christmas tree ornaments, each a bit different.

Words of Encouragement for Christmas

It is written,

“As I live,”

says the Lord,

“Every knee shall bow to Me,

and every tongue shall give praise to God.”

Romans 14:11

My grandchildren and I love both of  the Christmas tree ornaments. They remind us that, in the midst of all the “fun” of Christmas, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus, the “Reason for the Season.” :)

For more inspirational Bible verses and pictures, be sure to pop on over to All You Have To Give. She’s got a great picture and verse up and plenty of others to click to. It’s a feast for the eyes and the spirit! :)

A lot of people may choose gifts over giving, but overall we all must remember that <3 Love will lead us in the right direction, and <3 Love is a powerful thing. So, <3 Love this season and everyone you share it with.
Thank You for the peaceful words today!

Hi Jacquelyn, You’re very welcome. The nice thing is that they are pretty easy to find now, compared to my first statuette 20+ years ago. :)
