Well it is finally December and I am loving it so far! The weather finally feels like its suppose to.. COLD! And although I love cold weather, that doesnt mean I like being out in it. I love the whole atmosphere of it. Fireplaces going, sweat pants and hoodies, snuggling, Christmas time.. etc. It is most definitely my favorite time of the year =) I do think a lot of times this time of year we let our priorities get out of l ine. Whether its trying to get those last minute gifts, or running here and there and everywhere to pick up this or that... Ive really tried to keep a mindset of Christ this year so far because after all, He is what Christmas is all about anyway right? Working with kids 5 days out of the week, well really 7 days a week if I include my husband ; ) And seeing commercials for all these new things they are coming up with and hearing "I want that!" really puts into perspective for me what I do have already. For the past 3 years or so my family has been drawing names for Christmas because its just been easier financially for everyone! Nick and I may do a little something for each other and a stocking but we decided this year that instead of spending what we usually might on each other that we wanted to bless someone else. So we will be purchasing a Play Station 3 for a young man in our church who we think pretty highly of.. =) and who is more than deserving. We really werent sure where the finances were going to come from but we just knew that if the Lord had layed it on our hearts that He would obviously provide what we needed! So we just believing.. <3
Remember this Christmas season that although all the gifts and presents are nice.. its not all about those things! Enjoy your time with family, share with them what the Lord is doing in your life, and keep a giving heart! =))
