OK so it's time for my bi-monthly blog! lol! I really want to post more frequent. So it's 2 days away from December. Thanksgiving is over and I'm still full! lol Maybe I need to stop eating leftovers. What can I say I love Turkey.
Well the main thing that I wanted to post today was awareness and reminder of the seasons. With Christmas fastly approaching, its easy to lose site of the true meaning of Christmas. This is the time that we celebrate the best day of the year. The birth of our savior Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for this man being born for one purpose, to die for Man's sins, who knows where we would be. It is very easy to get lost into what the stores have made into a shopping chaos. We love shopping and enjoying the sales on Black Friday as much as everyone else. even when we say all we are going to do on that Friday is stay home, we still find ourselves going out that afternoon. I'm just so thankful that the lord has blessed us with good jobs to be able to enjoy these days.
We were up in Indianapolis and passed by an awesome display of Christmas lights. It was cool! Some of the things that they made out of lights were the abominable snowman, the Grinch, penguins and ice skaters on a pond and a church. But the one thing that stood out in my mind were the words, "Jesus is the reason for the Season". It really got me thinking of what Christmas means to me.
Christmas to me is the time to be thankful for all the blessings that the lord has given to me and my family. Even when we fall short, he is still there blessing us and letting us know that he hears our prayers. We are really looking forward to the Christmas vacation to NM (home). We get to see some of our friends and family. There isn't a better gift that I could ask for. Just another day to praise him, and thank him for dying for my sins, and be thankful for his blessings.
So this year enjoy the food, presents and company with friends. But don't forget to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I love you lord!
