Last Sunday before Christmas!

Here we are the Sunday before Christmas. I taught our SS class today. It was the last lesson before Christmas on Zacharias' news about John being the forerunner for Christ. The praise that Zacharias spoke was the main topic. I really prayed, as always about what God would have me say to those that He knew would be there, but I felt like it was kind of slow. I can only do what I can do. He has promised to empower me to do what he has called me to do and I can only trust that what he wanted said was said and heard by the ears and hearts he wanted to hear it.

Slow day at home, like I have said before Sundays are the longest days especially during the holidays and winter when it gets dark so early and is too cold for me to be outside anyway.

BUT I did get my best and most wanted Christmas gift Friday afternoon about 5pm. Talk about last minute relief, my youngest son got a regular day job! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!!!! What a blessing for this mom. I have worried about him not being able to get by for so long and now just a little longer and he should be able to make it. I am so thankful for this blessing, I know he is also. So many were praying for him and I know the Lord was merciful to us and blessed him with this job.

All the kids will be here Christmas Eve and Monty will make enchiladas for everyone along with guacamole and his special green chile cheese sauce that my daughter-in-law is craving right now. Christmas day we will get to spend with Cole and I will just make a regular meal for the 3 of us. I am looking forward to it. Saturday or Sunday Monty and I will head out to Bovina TX to visit his grandfather. He hasn't seen him in awhile so we need to make the trip and stop by and see his mom and dad on the way home if they are home by then.

Tomorrow some of my friends from church and I are going to see the movie "Have you Heard About the Morgans?" Should be fun, looking forward to it.

I kept my grandson Friday night. He got in bed with me about 6am because he woke up and was cold so I put him in bed with me. It is amazing how a little one snuggled up to you can melt the coldest of hearts. He is so precious to me. What a wonderful blessing he is.

Praise God for all he has poured out on me. Thank you Lord for this time of year and the opportunity to reflect on why we celebrate this holiday in the first place.
Your selfless act to come to this earth to live like us and die for us so that we can live one day as joint heirs with Christ in Heaven defies our logic. Heaven sounds sweeter all the time.
