Christmas Preparations

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now its time to get ready for Christmas. The tree is trimmed, the lights are lit, the presents bought (well most of them). It is a busy busy time of year. Parties and get-togethers with friends, and food, food, and more food are all coming our way.

In the middle of all the hustle and bustle, I will take a moment this Christmas and ponder all that God has given to me, however small. Sometimes we overlook gifts from God because at first glance they do not look like gifts: struggle, illness, loss .... all these are gifts too... they are given to us to help us to become closer to Christ, to build our character, to humble us.

Merry Christmas all.... and to all a good night.
