So we are off on our holidays in an hour or so. Frantic rushing around and praying it wont snow ( it was snowing this morning huge settling flakes!) Thankfully roads are clear just now. Looking forward to some sunshine.
Im hoping to be able to get online and continue this next week, but in case I cant get online........ Merry Christmas!
Ive barely had time to stop and think about what I might write today. The children are suddenly excited about Christmas - and do you know what?? Tha'ts something to be thankful for isnt it? if Jesus hadn't come 2000 years ago we wouldn't be having all this festive fun. I know it all gets out of hand and we eat and spend too much and focus on one day when we should be kind and giving all year round...... but at the end of the day Christmas is a lovely time for many people. Family and friends and parties and food and fun. A chance to spoil and be spoiled. A chance to catch up with people and take a rest from work. A chance to watch the children's shining eyes as the open presents and marvel at Santa's great wisdom. It's all good. And it's all GOD!
Lord, as we look forward to this Christmas week I pray that we would really be able to take time to enjoy it. Not to be stressed and busy and hassled and grumpy. But to pause in the moments of joy and beauty and give thanks. It's all because of You. How blessed we are!
