A Graceful Holiday Series VI 
~ Inspired by Your View ~

"You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
(Nehemiah 9:6)

Prayer for today:
Dear Lord, let me breathe in the splendid beauty that you have enriched our lives with here on this earth.  From the beautiful skies, the bountiful mountains, to the everlasting seas, you are the creator of all things and I humbly thank you.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.

Reflection Corner:
Each season brings a new view and a new vision that often acts as a creative muse fleetingly inspiring hostesses while they embark on creating environments that inspire and show the bounty and beauty that each season possesses.

As we enter into December, we are moving towards our coldest time of the year, our views are often met with bare branches, icicles, snow drifts and clear crisp skies.  It’s something that brings peace and quiet to us as we enter this season that enables us to go inside physically and mentally to nest and renew our souls.  It’s always a gentle reminder that this space and place where we live has been graced with God’s beautiful paint brush so we can be inspired and our spirits renewed by the beauty the abounds us.


As you move about your day I hope that you will take mental and heartfelt notes, and envelop the beauty and serenity that surrounds you during this soulful season. Entertaining and decorating for Christmas provides the opportunity to bring the beautiful elements that inspire us to life. We are able to share our hospitality and our Souls at the same time.  I hope you are Inspired by your view.

Activity Inspiration
Breathe in the beautiful world that surrounds you.   If you live in the country and the dark night that glistens with beautiful stars, or in the bustling city where the sounds of bells and honking horns become a symphony of Christmas music, be inspired.  Today is a special day that gives you the opportunity to embrace the elements of the earth that inspire you.  You can bring these elements into your home, whether it’s a beautiful holly tree, or a bright purple scarf, or the vibrant stars of the night that inspire you.  Bring these beautiful inspirations into your home and Christmas decorations.

Journal:
1.    Embrace the beauty of the season, as you go about your day, take a mental note of things that inspire you, please write them down?
2.     How can you incorporate this into your creative inspirations (i.e. holiday decorating, writing, cards, painting, etc.?
3.    What does the beauty of the season and outdoor, how does it speak to your soul?

4.    In what ways does it inspire you?  

Peace & Blessings!
