So I am new to this, I have probably most every other chat/blog thing online, but I thought this might be a good way to update people on our life who don't have facebook or myspace. :)
I am SO excited for the Holiday Seasons! I love Thanksgiving and getting to spend time with everyone, but I really LOVE Christmas! It is just a time of giving and rejoicing in our Savior's birth! There is such joy that fills my heart during this time of year. I hope it's contagious! Chris and I put up our Christmas tree already, before you all say, "IT"S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING!" We put it up since we will be gone to Plano for Thanksgiving and it will be up for the first day of December.
My hope and prayer for everyone this season is for peace. As much as I enjoy this season it can be a time of worry, stress, anger, fear of the "in-laws/parents", financial crisis, etc. May God remind you and me this year that we can have peace amidst all the chaos that sometimes follows our celebrations.
Above all the dinners and presents and "thankfulness" we have loved ones and a roof over our heads. We have friends who encourage, love and uplift us. We have a father who knows our needs and provides for us when we think we can't go on...
May we all remember what these holidays are really for... Thankfulness.... for all God has given us and for precious baby Jesus...
Happy Thanksgiving and soon MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
