Ornament

A couple weeks ago my pastor started a message series called "Ornament". The parts that spoke to me was at the beginning and the end. The message started off with the Christmas story beginning with a tree, a family tree. And when we read it we find that luminaries like Abraham, Rahab, and David hang like life ornaments from this tree.

In the end he said to decide to ornament our lives, to decorate ourselves, ornament ourselves.
