Since I hadn't finished the decorations I had pictured for the tree, no tree skirt, etc. wouldn't be around here for Christmas etc., we decided to wait until next year for a tree. But when I saw the picture of Soldier in front of the wild tree, I was touched. The simplicity is beautiful. The meaning deep. I'm stirred to let the Spirit of the Lord enter my heart so that He be remembered in this season and also that my little son might see Him too, and not just a mommy who's striving for some sort of meaningless ideal.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338927075656501045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-86147252635291011282013-12-16T19:02:48.006-08:002013-12-16T19:02:48.006-08:00Yours is a beautiful tree!

We used to chop our tree down in the forest and we carried out the tradition with our children.<br /><br />Sadly, now I have a "fake." It is pretty though, but next year, REAL.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-77404609257673822492013-12-16T08:47:38.485-08:002013-12-16T08:47:38.485-08:00love Christmas trees!!!love Christmas trees!!!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-53754116812719227872013-12-16T04:42:05.638-08:002013-12-16T04:42:05.638-08:00What a lovely full tree...a Noble Fir from Oregon?...What a lovely full tree...a Noble Fir from Oregon? I never heard of that kind, guess they don't grow in Ohio. My sister who lives in Portland, got a Douglas fir this year.

I always am sad to cut a tree down where it grows in the forest, but the kind of beauty we then get to enjoy in the house comes only at Christmas, and it's fitting to have such a special and unusual decoration at this time.Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918181726031900583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-15579616751651959032013-12-15T14:35:05.594-08:002013-12-15T14:35:05.594-08:00That is a lovely poem!
