December Daily - Light the World Journaling book

I'm so excited that I can share the pages of my
Light the World book with you.
In the scrapbook world, they would call this a
December Daily book.
Journaling the events that take place in the month of
December.  I have chosen to record my events
through the Light the World campaign and
do my recording just a little different way.

How did I serve?

Each time I pass my book on the table

in the family room, I am reminded to do something

for someone else.

This was a great project for me, not only to make a journaling book

but to also put in front of me a reminder that 

I need to serve someone else today.

I bound the book myself with a binding machine that

I bought years ago when the scrapbooking

business was going great guns.  Who didn't need 

one of these in their creating room? 

Well, not everyone I guess, but this is a machine

that I use regularly, and has become a great

friend.  Instead of spending more money on someone

else binding my books, I was able to bind my own,

and put my own twist to the book.

So....

many, many years later,

I am still using my binding machine!

Score!!!

Here are the rest of the pages of my

Light the World journaling book.

Really, it is a fabulous December Daily,

and it has a true purpose to help me become a better person

as I add my service in it each day.

And there you have it.

The rest of the book.

I actually have a few more pages with pictures of Dana and I

on them.  We really don't take many pictures at Christmas,

and maybe I should be better at that,

but the few we have, are on the other pages.

And a poster from the Church that was on our Church bulletin

board.  They throw them away at the end of the 

season, so I asked for it. 

It is the picture that is used for the Light the World

campaign. 

My mother had an original painting of this picture, given

to her by her mother.  It hung on the walls of her 

home from the time she received it until 

she and dad died.  It is such a special picture of Mary

and her precious son Jesus.

I was so excited to see that as the poster for Light the World.

It makes the event even more precious to me.

Merry Christmas!
