Enjoying some family time on Christmas Eve!
Lily in her new Christmas clothes!
Christmastime is such a wonderful time of year! And quite possibly my favorite time of year! It gives me extra reasons to do special things for people, to show a little more love and joy. I often wonder, why is it that we only go out of our way more at Christmas? Why don't we spend extra time making cookies with our kids throughout the year? Taking a meal to a family in need? Or simply just letting someone cut you in line because they seem tired or in a hurry? Why can't our hearts be more like this all year long? More like the heart of Jesus. Just some things to ponder and pray about.
As the new year approaches, Randy and I always make our list of goals. We don't like to use the word resolutions, as most people make resolutions and never follow through. I am praying hard and trying to trust in the Lord as some very big things are happening within our company right now. We have a meeting next week that could ultimately determine our future. While this worries me more than anything before, I find peace in knowing that finally we will know where we are headed. I am sure many more sleepless and stressful nights lie in our future, but I am gaining a peaceful and patient heart at the very same time.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Well, I tried to upload a new background/layout to my blog, and seem to have lost everything! I was trying to encourage myself to update my blog more often, and now I'm simply frustrated! So I am in the process of updating and redoing this blog! It needs a makeover!
