It's the third day of Christmas Ornaments....
My grandfather fashioned this bell from a chunk of wood he brought home from the Holy Land many years ago.
This bit of a tree represents an ancient tree that held my Savior, first in a manger, then on a cross. This sliver of wood from the place Christ was born rings silently on my Christmas tree reminding me that the Lord's birth is only one act in a world-wide production he orchestrates, even now. Today.
His work on the cross is done. His work in our hearts continues.

Ok, IF there was a contest for best stories to accompany ornaments, you would WIN!
What a beautiful ornament...and the story behind it is the MOST precious!
