Jesse Tree
When I was a kid, I remember building a Jesse Tree at school. It was one of the most interesting aspects to the Advent season. I remember looking forward to the Jesse tree being put up because I really loved making the ornaments for the tree. There was just so much meaning behind the tree.
As I look back on that time, the Jesse Tree was part of that magical time. I know many children get excited about Santa, but I knew there wasn’t a Santa since my second grade teacher had revealed it in a story.
So the magic of the season was really focused on Jesus. Somehow over the years, I lost that and now I feel like I am moving back into that magic. So I asked Lee if he would help me build a Jesse tree and he thought it would be fun. *Just as a side note, the Lord sent me Lee so I knew he would be excited to build a Jesse tree. Lee is so incredible and is always delighted to participate in any of my little adventures. Thanks God!
So if you are interested in making your own Jesse Tree here’s some links to get you started:
