Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

So the performances for our church Christmas program start tomorrow night. Tonight is dress rehearsal. I'm letting ds skip it so he can go to The Chronicles of Narnia with Grandma. He nailed it at rehearsal yesterday so I'm not worried about him. I am jealous I don't get to see the movie.

I've really enjoyed being part of all the Christmas happenings at church. I'm really feeling the Christmas spirit and am feeling so blessed this year. I've been moved to tears several times by the wonder of the season. Why should a HUGE God sent His Son to be born in such a lowly way just for me. The WHY of it is beyond comprehension. The truth is it's a miracle. It's hope. It's a Light shining in our dark path. It's pretty doggone amazing when you think about it!!

If you're reading this blog may hope and peace and the Love of God FILL your heart this Christmas season. Our pastor wrote a note in our newsletter this month about Christmas getting up all over you. I hope that happens to you this year!! Not the commercialized Christmas - but the simple joy of a baby being born in Bethlehem on an ordinary night that heralded in an extraordinary event!!

Merry CHRISTmas!
