Welcome In

A whitewashed barn stands quietly at the edge of the woods, its wide doors open as though inviting friends and family to step inside. Adorning its face is a grand Christmas wreath, woven with evergreen boughs, berries, and a crimson bow that glows warmly against the weathered boards. The scene radiates the timeless charm of country Christmas—simple, heartfelt, and filled with the spirit of welcome.
This painting is more than a rustic holiday portrait; it is a reflection of hospitality and joy. Just as the barn doors open wide, so too do our hearts in this season, offering space for love, remembrance, and celebration. It calls to mind the words of Romans 15:7: “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”
“Welcome In” reminds us that Christmas is not about grandeur but about open hearts, simple joys, and the beauty of gathering together in places made holy by love.
