It looks like my family is getting a little behind on our blogs. My husband is working hard to finish his degree and his job. My son is doing college finals and coming home this week. My daughter is working hard at school and looking forward to her brother coming home. I'm just unmotivated, frankly. Christmas is cool except for the extreme expectations of it all. I love Jesus birth (duh), spending special time with family and friends, the beautiful decorations, the yummy sweets and food, the fun music, and the wonderful movies. It's the presents that send me in a bit of pain. How can you possibly top the greatest Gift of all, God's Son? No matter what I make or buy, it will never be as wonderful and perfect as God's Gift. I'm a mother. I want my children safe and happy. He is the Father. He wants His children saved and free. I can't top that. The Bible says in 2nd Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. The conclusion and most happy thing I can know is this. I really can't be everything to my family, but God sure can. Oh, He is so, so good at this. So, while we are unwrapping our measly trinkets called presents this Christmas, let's not forget to thank the Father for His presence and perfect Present. Merry Christmas!!! Oh, and yes, I will ask my troop to catch up on their blogs. Have a great week.
