Christmas Miracles...

2 weeks before Christmas....We gathered early...for some serious pajama wearin'- donut eatin'- gingerbread cookie makin'-pre-Christmas fun.

Oh as "relaxing" as this sounds....try not to be jealous....we began with all parties in several rounds of "time outs"...

a few tug of wars over toys and books....some confusion about what sharing really is and isn't....
a punch here and there (not the good kind from the Phi Delt house)...

However, when I may or may not, have encouraged some of the shorter participants, "licks" of the icing....attitudes were adjusted.
It was a true Christmas miracle.

Here you see an actual inmate in his "cell"
(Where his mean mother put him.)
No more tears...just a spoonful of sugar....(helps the punishment go down)
It was time to get down to business... The foundation was laid...

which is crucial to this project....
I mean seriously....the gum drops ain't gonna stick to themselves.
Some got a little more fired up about the foundation than others...
(which I might add is Biblical-see prisoners CAN be rehabilitated!)

"God has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the earth."
~Ephesians 1:4

Christmas is 2 weeks away....

Don't forget to take time to lick the pan...or the cookie.We are swimming in the blessings of chaos and preparations....

Miracles are happening right before your very eyes.

God, Thank You for pans to lick and Christmas miracles....especially The One in Bethlehem.

In His Dust,
