Something my friend Sarah said today, "remember its all about Christ." when did Christmas get so mixed up?? Nowadays its all about gifts and such...when it should really be a celebration of why were here. i think this thought has always been in my head and i just never really voiced it before but its becoming more and more clear w/ "happy holidays" were all taking the Christ out of Christmas...im not saying that im innocent in this either because im not..the job i work at we say "happy holidays"..ive been caught up in the fever of presents, love, snow, all of it. I think i just need to take a break and look at the creation right outside my window. the gorgeous snow, how pretty the trees look w/ the snow on them, the fact that there is 3 cars sitting in my driveway, that i have a driveway to a home. i have been taking way to much for granted these days and i think maybe this is why i have such a problem with Christmas time...its not quite about Christ the way it should be. I not saying all of this is true for you also but this is the way it is for me...maybe we all should take a step back and look around us. so thank you sarah for bringing me back into reality and showing me that my faith was a little off track. To those of you who dont believe this entry may sound a little weird to you but its a "God-thing" so thank you all for listening if youve gotten this far.
