Today, I am wearing the color of Christmas. Color of giving? Together with my older sister, brother-in-law and friends, we are going to visit the elderly to share God's love to them.

And it seems that the weather cooperates today, since there was snowstorm yesterday.

I love sunshine days. It makes this place a little bit warmer.

Nice background for the dry plants and trees!



Anyway, we decorated the place for the occasion. This is the activity center of the nursing home where I actually work almost everyday.







First visitior. My sister's mother in law. A lady with a good heart.




Anyway, this is Claudia who shares God's words today. She read from the Bible the birth of Jesus. She said that like before, people from all walks of life accept Jesus Christ birth differently. Herodes the king wanted to kill Jesus, while the shepherds and the three wise men worshiped him. The question was how do we react of Jesus birth? Do we accept him as a gift from God or do we reject him? Christmas is all about Jesus and God's love to mankind. So her prayer is for each and everyone to accept the God's best gift.


And after Claudia sharing, Reidun shared also how they celebrated Christmas before and how God answered her prayer when she lost a gift from someone she loves.



     Åse shared something from the song book about Christmas.



Then, my sister, her hubby and Claudia sung a song about lighting a light this Christmas.

Maria sung a solo sang. It was like hearing an angel singing from heaven. Our spirits lifted up on high.

 But this make us teary eyed. A duet of mother and son. So wonderful.

And the little boy Trond swaying at the background while his mother and brother sung.

   Well, this is food for the soul and body. We brought with us cakes ,breads and fruits for them.

Happy faces!

Here comes the big Santa with the gifts to the elderly.

And Adrian, our cute santa . The gift in the plastic bag consist of small chocolates, cookies and homemade strawberry jam.


 And our cutest Santa did his best too:)



But, there is more:) My sister and brother in law baked big cookies with the names of the elderly written on it.



So look at the smiles!

 Surprise! They baked cookies for us too! And look at our smiles:) Thank you so much sis and brother in law.

The joy of giving. With that I know that God was joyful when he gave his Son as a gift to all of us. The greatest gift of all!
