We all love sparkly Christmas trees: those colour coordinated ones that make you go "Wow!" when you see them.
But I wouldn't trade my tree with the homemade decorations on it for anything.
And I think that's the perfect metaphor for us as Christian women. So ofen we try to be that perfect tree: we want to look all sparkly on the outside, like we have it all together.
But in fact, we're all aiming to look exactly the same.
Maybe God has something different for us.
Here's me talking about it at a recent women's outreach event. It's short, and funny, so see what you think:
UPDATE: Link working now! Sorry about that! The video I posted last night got cut off at the 2 1/2 minute mark, but this 4 minute one is right!
About Me: I'm a Christian author of a bunch of books, and a frequent speaker to women's groups and marriage conferences. Best of all, I love homeschooling my daughters, Rebecca and Katie. And I love to knit. Preferably simultaneously.
Funny!!! And I love my homemade unmatched tree too!!!
