So thankful that today is Friday and the weekend is here! Have had a wonderful week at work but very busy! Tomorrow I get the wonderful task of shopping for Christmas gifts. I say this with the utmost sarcasm! I love the Christmas season...don't get me wrong, but I hate how the world has commercialized it the way that they have! I mean...it's not about what's under the tree...it's about the birth of a precious baby boy over 2000 years ago and the events that unfolded over the following 33 years of His life. I want to be ever-conscious of the true meaning and not allow myself to get caught up in the stress of what this season can bring.
My tree is up and quite beautiful I might add! I love to decorate!! My house will be completely decorated by the weekend if I can sweet talk BJ into climbing up and down a ladder!!! He conveniently didn't hear me when I was talking about it earlier!! LOL...I'll get through to him, and if I can't, there is a beautiful brown-eyed little girl who can!! Ahhh the power of persuasion by a preschooler!
I hope this Christmas you are blessed beyond what you could ask or think. So that you know that these blessings come from the Lord. The greatest gift we could ever receive is the gift of eternal life by Christ Jesus. That a King would leave a life of royalty in Heaven to be born a human. To battle the same battles that we do. To live a perfect and blameless life. And to die a horrible and shameful death...all so that we might be given a better life for eternity. That's a powerful gift!
Blessings to all of you! Much, much love!
