Craziness of the Holiday Season
I have had a hard time finding time to write on my blog. With Maddy growing more and more every day and the craziness of juggling 2 ministries (which I am blessed with doing) and being husband and father I have found myself vegging out when I do get free time. But I have had alot on my mind concerning so many things. Some incredible milestones have happened since i last posted. We have an African American president, who I didn’t vote for but continue to pray for, my grandparents have been in and out of the hospital but their spirits still seem good, we got a MacBook Pro as an early Christmas gift (uhhh yeah pretty sweet), Maddy is rolling over, eating her toes, and talking in a British accent while reading the wall street journal. OK maybe not the last two but my daughter is growing up so fast and becoming her own person. I see and feel the love that God has for me through the life and love i have for my daughter…simply humbling.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Christmas is a time to see family, eat pies and cakes that are not usually made until this time of year, surprise loved ones with special gifts, and drink hot chocolate when its snowing outside. But most importantly its a time to celebrate the Christ child. The birth that impacted the wealthy (wisemen) and the poor (Shepherds). That brought hope to people that were hopeless. Christ has come, and isn’t it incredible that God choose to use a scared teenage girl and her young carpenter husband to save the world from the grips of the world.
So share the love of Christ with someone. Show them the love of Christ that is in you, through you, to them. Rejoice my brethren, find peace, hope, and satisfaction the Christ Child.
“BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23
Grace and Peace to you
