Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

I hope you are having a great Christmas! I love Christmas, the incredible times we have and the joy that comes from these times, wow. Does it almost seem to you as if for a couple of weeks of the year people become kind, less angry, more loving, not quite as intense and focused on others? Maybe this is the way Jesus wants it, in fact people who don't even understand Christmas behave this way during this time. Jesus is definitely in control!
I hope you are loving people with all your energy and time during this season. I pray that God will bless all of you in this season.

This morning Kiah finally got his little guitar, wow what a wait, I thought it would never get here. I think I was as excited as him. He ran down the stairs and looked at the milk and cookies, which was actually egg nog, cookies and carrots. Carrots for the reindeers. They were gone, hmm wonder who ate those, anyway a big box sitting right next to fireplace was ripped open and shabamm! A guitar. Tate was excited about a little tricycle, Drew about his new watch and madden 06 and Bo about his puma warmup suit. Gretchen is snapping pictures wildly with her new little camera. There isn't much better feeling then to watch your kids enjoying life in this way. Just a little view of our christmas.

We are so thankful of the grace of our God and his provision. we don't for one minute take even the smallest gift for granted. The things we treasure most are family, incredible friends and most of all our great God.

God bless,
