Oh how I love the special traditions of Christmas. I especially love the ones that we have come to know and love since having children of our own. One of our all time favorites through the years has been ADORE-NAMENTS! 12 special ornaments would be placed on the tree--each representing a different name of God. For each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas we would take turns finding them and reflecting on the names of God. Oh it started out simple, like a hide and seek game----very brief, as would be expected with toddlers, but through the years as the kids have grown, so have the reflections and readings....into something very deep and meaningful. 12 days of Intentional Adoration gives way to 365 days of Heartfelt Adoration. Adoration to Him whose birth we celebrate.... Adoration to Him who sits on the throne both now and forevermore.
OH COME LET US ADORE HIM.
