Christmas Morning 07

Light in the Darkness

Just wanted to share a thought......My kids asked me the other day why we put up lights at Christmas time? I think I told them that "It's a festive thing to do" .

Today I was riding in the car listening to kwave and the pastor was talking about "Darkness" which made me think about Pastor Scott's message this last Sun. about the glory of God and also made me rethink my answer to that Question my very inquisitive children had asked....

Maybe we hang lights to symbolize "The light that was brought into a dark and dreary world ...the baby wrapped in cloth lying in a manger....Jesus"

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Luke 2:11,12
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

SEVEN!!!!!!

The Babies are finally here......Rachel's Cat Lily had seven! They are so stinking cute .....I swore I would give them all away and I already want to keep at least 2. look at the orange and white one!!!! I am sure that by the time we have dealt with them for 5-6 weeks I will be ready for them to go (don't worry honey)

Twilight Fans......The count down is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One week and counting...... Make sure you pre-order your tickets like right now!!! They are already selling out. In case anyone wants to join us we are going on Fri at 6:45.
See you there fellow readers!

It's the most WONDERFUL time of the year!!!

(Thought I would share this beautiful sunset with everyone, This picture was taken on our porch the other night.)

Isn't that true? Think about the Holidays we are about to celebrate............. Thanks Giving and Christmas....a time for thankfulness to our creator for all that He has done and will do for us, in more ways than we will ever know, and a time to reflect on the ultimate gift of all time, "Our Savior", born in a manger to save the world and make it possible to have a relationship with our Lord. I feel very blessed to live in a country where we are free to celebrate openly!

Chicky

I heard this great analogy on the radio today......................
There was a little Chicky that lived in a barn and loved to sit high up on a beam, on warm sunny days and chirp away, she was such a sweet little Chicky.
One day the weather started to turn cold and eventually as winter went by the sweet Chicky fell ,frozen from the beam on to the barn floor.
She lay there frozen and about to die when a cow happened to walk by and took a dump right on top of her!! yuk! But even though it stunk the manure was warm and soon the chick was not cold anymore the manure saved her.
She was stuck and could not get out of the pile. The barn cat strolled by and said "can I help you out?" the Chicky said "oh yes, please do" so the cat pulled her out and swallowed her whole!

The morel of this story is...Sometimes people that dump on you are not trying to hurt you, and people that help you out are not always your Friends.
