Dec 25, 2006 10:25

It's Christmas! Praise God, what a beautiful day it is out. Just a small reflection of the glory and joy that was seen and felt so many years ago at the birth of our Savior! I was up early, even though I could have slept in, I was just up. I jumped out of bed and looked at the beautiful day and then dug into the word and had my devotional. My family isn't opening presents today since we are waiting for the entire family to be here. I could careless. Christmas isn't about presents, it's about celebrating Jesus. We are going to the Island later for Christmas dinner. Yum!

Life is hard, it throws with it, it's annoyances and frustrations and like any other year this year has been no acception when it came to annoyances and frustrations and challenges. But through out all of that, I am so thankful for the rich blessings God has given me and the simple fact that He is with me no matter what I'm going through. We forget that sometimes. There are so many things I am thankful for. My dear friends, there are no words how much you mean to me, each of you are unique blessings from God Himself. The blessed ability to simply be loved and even be "in love" is something that I am just so thankful for this Christmas season. So many small things and stuff we just take for granted, I stopped today and just gave thanks. For a house to live in, for air in my lungs, for a awesome family, for good health, for the beautiful gift of music, my gosh and just so much other stuff the list can go on and on. So many blessings to be thankful for. I encourage you, give thanks this Christmas day, be thankful!!

Well I hope that everyone has a blessed and happy Christmas day. Remember, let us rejoice for today many years ago was born hope, peace, love, salvation.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas!!
