  Taking time to share a little Christmas at our House with you. I painted this ornament as a gift to my daughter and her husband. If they are reading this, sorry to spoil the surprise, but more gifts are on the way.  I hope that each of you who watch this little video receive a small respite from the worries of life. A little Christmas cheer for those who are in need. A little light to cast out all fear. A smile for you to hear. We are more than conquers, we are in Christ who strengthens us. The bride that awaits His return. God bless you and yours. Merry Christmas! Love always, Laveda D. Rockford © 2023 Laveda D. Rockford
