Bowers Christmas Morning Tradition
Get up early and throw on festive attire...or at least something not too wrinkly.
Grab gospel tracts, cookies or carmel corn made by our dear Cass.
Head for the local gas stations and hotels.
Upon arrival, set aside all nervousness and pile out.
Pick a note (if possible the same one) and hum it all the way across the parking lot.
Smile at onlookers.
Daddy decided several years ago it would be nice if the 11 of us
came through the door singing, so it's usually "Angels We Have Heard on High".
Who doesn't love that GLOOOOORIA part!?
Wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Give workers and any smiling customers tracts and yummy things.
Count Bowers children and proceed to back through snow and puddles.
Praise the Lord and pile in.
Repeat 2 minutes down the road.
We have done this for 13 years now and are blessed every time...so blessed!!
Smiles, sweet tears, and even hugs from workers there. AH!
'Tis truly the highlight of the day.

| Decided during dinner to go caroling. Out the door and down the street we dashed. Happy time visiting our sweet neighbors. |

Simply love that idea for sharing the Gospel + blessing those people on Christmas morning! I had scribbled that idea down in my journal after you mentioned it - so great. Blessings to you all!
Inspiring Christmas tradition! Hope you don't mind if the Geist family in Romania follows suit. We will order some special Christmas tracts ASAP and hope they arrive in time for the big day. Meanwhile, Christas hymn practice sessions are underway. We unpacked our Clavinova two days ago, and it's exciting to have a new goal in mind as we sing together. Blessings to y'all.
