We’re joining BooMama’s Christmas Tour of Homes on the very last day! I think she’s closing the links down any minute. If you’d like to take a peek at tons of beautifully decorated homes, hop on over to her site and visit some of the blogs listed. You’ll find lots of Siestas on there.
Welcome to LPM! Here’s the front view of our office, which used to be a home. Hopefully that qualifies us for the tour of homes.
Front doors
Entryway
Our beautiful tree
The boardroom and our banqueting table. I love the chairs.
Fireplace
Each of us has a stocking hung on the mantle.
A little tree in Diane’s office
Another one in Evangeline’s office
The water cooler in the resource room
Did you know that our resource department is named after the wonderful Mary Helen Davis? LPM would not exist as it does today if it weren’t for this wonderful lady and her tape recorder. She used it to record Beth’s Sunday school lessons for years. We love you, Mrs. Mary Helen!
Jingle bell tree
Some little angels
This is not really a Christmas decoration, but we bought it at a Christmas market last month. I LOVE it!
We have several of these for all the fun cards we receive.
A fresh wreath
Outside on a staircase
The fireplace in our ministry director’s office
Some bling on Beth’s desk

Merry Christmas from Beth and Starsy!

Thanks for giving us a peek into the “office”. Looks like a place I would LOVE to work! Love that Christmas card holder – never saw anything like that before! Merry Christmas LPM!!
Your “home” ROCKS!!!! My fav are all the stockings hung by the chimney with care. 😉

Merry Christmas! Beth and Starsy’s picture looks like a great Christmas card. I know you love your new puppies.
Looks like all of you did a great job decorating!
Have a good time with your friends and family. It is truly the best time of the year. Jesus is our greatest gift.

Beautiful!!
I always thought your office was in some stuffy building in downtown Houston. It was so delightful to take the tour. If we could all work in such comforting environment No One would mind going to work. You have a beautiful workplace. It looks like it is filled with love.
OMG!! Since I became a “siesta” (mostly lurking one!) I’ve wanted to come work with you all in Houston-where I have some family (one cousin works at a hair salon in the Galleria which Beth has mentioned as the greatest mall in H-Town!). After seeing pictures of the office-home, I want to oh-so-much more! I know I would learn lots about our Heavenly Father from you gals! Including decorating tips! LOL! Great job decorating! Wishing all a very Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful glimpse you’ve given us into LPM at Christmas. So happy to see how the Lord has blessed your wonderful ministry!
Merry CHRISTmas to all of you! May you sense the Saviour’s love more than ever before. We count you among our blessings of this past year!
Much love,
Tracy
What a great place. How wonderful you all have a peaceful beautiful place to work. Love the cross and the swords. The Christmas decorations were great!! Queen Esther “Star” is sure growing.
The Bible Bunnies in NO MI which each and everyone of you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BLESSED NEW YEAR. It will be so exciting to see what God is going to do in 2009. One thing is for sure, He will not let any of us sit on our “laurels” and not grow in Him!! He loves us to much!!!!
Blessings,
Bible Bunny in No MI

Merry Christmas to all of you at LPM! That Boomama puts on a great tour, doesn't she? What a beautiful job with decorating your offices & how fun it must be to work in that atmosphere. I keep forgetting to come & read this blog, but is is truly a blessing.
Beth, I've been doing your Bible studies for years, attended several conferences & can't wait for more. Right now, my ladies group is doing the Deeper Still study from Nashville. I was there in person & am enjoying the study tremendously. I think we're doing Esther next, can't wait! You bless my heart so much! Thank you for what you do & for how you allow God to use you.
Have a very Merry Christmas!!
xo,

WOW!

I had to come back and take a second look at these photos. I was trying to find a jingle bell tree for my sister and was having a hard time remembering what I was looking for…
The photo of Beth and Star is just gorgeous; both so beautiful!
Adrienne
OVE all the pics! Its so neat to get to see the inside of your new office! I love you mamma Beth and Merry CHRISTmas!
Holy cow! “Beautiful” is all I can say. I’m glad you joined the tour. Gives me some ideas for next year! =) Merry Christmas!!
This is breathtaking…
Thanks so much for sharing your world with us.
Much love to you!!!

First of all . . . GREEN GRASS! We won’t see that again in OK until around the last of April!
The offices and decorations are just beautiful! I love the Christmas card holder b/c it is so unique. The Jingle Bell tree is so cute! Actually . . I just love it all!
Thank you for giving us a tour.
Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you at LPM.
Beth, you, Starsy, and all the decorations are GORGEOUS! What a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Newborn King! I wish we could all be there in person to see the beauty of the Spirit in and around all of you. Abundant blessings to all throughout 2009. WE LOVE YOU!
What a great place to work! Thanks for remembering our city (New Orlenas) with the cross with the fleur de lis in the center. As we minister in this unique place, may the cross be a reminder to pray for the people in New Orleans. Merry Christmas to you all.
This is my Christmas gift to all. I want to give it to the whole world- at least to all who love and follow Jesus. Wish I had all their email addresses ☺
My gift is Psalm 100
It is a gift to your heart, soul and mind, drink it in. And no matter your circumstances I invite you to do it, we can all join together and do it all over the earth. The last verse tells us why we can do it.
We can do it every day from Christmas this year till next Christmas.
I believe whenever you do it, that will be a gift to the heart of God, I can almost see Him smile. Ok… I’m reading this to you now with enthusiasm ( for some of you the hand motions & dancing version)
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into His Presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, He is God!
It is He who has made us, and we are His;
we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
And His courts with praise!
Give thanks to Him; bless His Name!
For the LORD is Good;
His steadfast love endures forever,
And His faithfulness to all generations.
Because of His Goodness, His Love and His Faithfulness we can make a joyful noise, thanking and praising and celebrating Him no matter what we may be facing in life. In The Message the first verse says: â€On your feet now ~ applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter,
Sing yourselves into His Presence!â€
I imagine all of us rising to our feet applauding as a standing ovation that ripples over the crust of the earth till we all crescendo in shouts of joy and laughter to Him who is Good. We break into spontaneous songs in various languages and melodies and we know we are in His Holy and magnificent Presence. As we move past the wonder of all He has done for us, our gratitude ushers us to the marvel of Who He is and I see the tears begin to fall gently and some of us end up on our knees before Him.
He has come to rescue us, He came Himself, we are His and He is with us now and always will be till the end of time and beyond that into eternity.
Merry Christmas every day of your life, Nancy
WOW, what a beautiful office! And where did you get the Christmas card holder? Come on, do tell!
Just wanted to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Thankful for all of you and love you much,

It was sweet to take all these photos of the home/office in, to absorb each space decorated, to sense the feeling of the place. The careful care of each room, each corner decorated. Being an artist I slowly was taking it in. Feeling like I’m bottled up from expressing my artistic ways even greater with His hand in my hand. To do art with His hand in mine would be so incredible to my heart and mind. I would probably just fly away.
Love from a heartfelt admirer and friend….
Merry Christmas, Beth and family.. I loved the tour of the LPM offices… Have a blessed holiday… Praise the Lord for his wonderful gifts… Hugs…
P.S… underneath my own personal tree is a huge wrapped box… (I bought a leader kit of Esther… and we’re going to have a bible study here this spring… !!! How exciting…) Hugs…
Thanks for the tour. Beautiful offices. I love the bows on the chairs and the bowl of bling. My favorite, however, is the cross.
Merry Christmas.
I have 25 Days of Christmas pictures at http://365-days-of-christmas.blogspot.com/
Loved the tour, where did you get the thing-a-ma-whatchit that held your Christmas cards? I need one of those!
We are starting the Esther study on Jan 6th and I can’t wait to dive in. Thank you for painting such vivid pictures of God’s word, you have such a gift. So ready for the new study!!!!!
I LOVE THE OFFICE! I hope to visit in person one day!
Beautifulis all I can say. But, where can the rest of us siestas find atree to put jingle bells on? I’ve searched all the sales within 50 miles of Cheyenne and no luck. Boo Hoo!
You all did a great job…it looks so cozy!!
Piece of writing writing is also a fun, if you be familiar
with then you can write if not it is difficult to write.
In addition, it leads to changes inside the generation technique as well as within the conversation programmes.
