Can you believe it Christmas is almost here!! =)
I have to say I am excited about Christmas not because of the presents or the School break,But because I get to be with my family. That doesn't happen very often.......
I was thinking last night as I was trying to fall asleep that I'm about Marys age when she was told that she above all the Jewish girls was chosen to give birth to the savior of the world. That just blows my mind I can't imagine what it must of been been and felt like. She was probably scared and excited. Not knowing how Joseph her betrothed would say or do...

Merry Christmas =)

Peaceful... =)
I have to say 4 year olds are the cutest!!
I was babysitting for friends today, while I was down stairs with a 4 year old little boy we where playing ball where you throw it back and forth. he didn't like the side that he was on so we switched places with me over by the toys with him at the more open "quiet" place.
We get onto the conversation where he likes to stay in "quiet,peaceful" places...... then he said totally unexpected " I'm a Peaceful Man"........... I don't know about you but that made me laugh!! =) Hope that made you smile

Christmas Time!!!
Can you believe it it's Christmas time already!!!
I just love Christmas The snow and decorations.... but most important the birth of our savior!! The thought that our savior came into this world to save our sins as a baby blows my mind. We've been listening to Christmas songs lately and one that I like a lot is this one below it was performed and I think written by Steven Curtis Chapman.
Well, He cried when He was hungry,
Did all the things that babies do;
He rocked and He napped on His mother’s lap,
And He wiggled and giggled and cooed.
There were the cheers when He took His first step,
And the tears when He got His first teeth;
Almost everything about this little baby
Seemed as natural as it could be.
CHORUS
But this baby made the angels sing,
And this baby made a new star shine in the sky.
This baby had come to change the world.
This baby was God’s own son, this baby was like no other one.
This baby was God with us, this baby was Jesus.
And this baby grew into a young boy,
Who learned to read and write and wrestle with dad;
There was the climbin’ of trees and the scrapin’ of knees,
And all the fun that a boy’s born to have.
He grew taller and some things started changing,
Like His complexion and the sound of His voice;
There was work to be done as a carpenter’s son
And all the neighbors said He’s such a fine boy.
But this boy made the angels sing,
And this boy made a new star shine in the sky.
This boy had come to change the world.
This boy was God’s own son, this boy was like no other one.
This boy was God with us. This boy became a man,
And love made Him laugh and death made Him cry.
With the life that He lived and the death that He died,
He showed us heaven with His hands and His heart,
‘Cause this man was God’s own son.
This man was like no other one,
Holy and human right from the start.
(chorus)
This baby was God with us, this baby, this baby was Jesus; this baby was Jesus, this baby was Jesus.
Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!!
Merry Christmas

Lets talk about Hats
Your probably thinking why the title to this post is " Lets talk about Hats".
Well I'll tell you. Every Monday Night I go over to my pastors house for a Bible Study for Junior highers and High Schoolers. During that time last night my Pastor talked about hats, Yes hats I'm not kidding!!! =)
He talked about how when we go to school we put "on" the student hat, or at home we put "on" the son/daughter/father/or mother hat. Do you get what I'm talking about?
During all the hat changes we need to have the christian hat always on underneath all the other hats... We need to have God always one our heart and do every thing to please him.
"And what ever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,giving thanks to God the Father though him. Colossians 4:18
We need to treat other people the way we would want to be treated. Another thing is people change their attitudes to go with the people around them. that's not what God wants,he wants us to always be us and not change the way you act or behave just because of the group of people we're hanging out with. God made us unique and he wants us to be us and not a multiple attitude changing person........ Okay does that make sense?
Have a great night

Veteran's Day/Armistice Day.
Why do we honor Veterans Day?
The simple answer is we do it to honor the men and woman who served for our country.
To honor the missing in action,one's that died at war ,and to the ones who came home.
Did you know that Veterans day was once called Armistice Day? Armistice Day was.....
"to mark the end of World War I hostilities at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918 -- which was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It first was named Armistice Day through an act of Congress in 1926, though it didn’t become a national holiday for a dozen more years."
A good page to go to to learn about Veterans Day. You will find amazing,and shocking facts in this link and it really makes you thankful to veterans.

Wind?
Wind blows the leaves off the trees in fall. It makes trees sway, It's even so powerful to knock HUGE,HEAVY trees down. It causes snow flurries,It whips you hair around like a hairdryer. Do you get my jest ... Good =)
God is like the Wind and even though you can't see him you can see the effects of God. God Is Powerful, Holy, Amazing. Great , Mighty, Alpha ,Omega, Beginning, End.....And many many more.
Have you ever had someone say to you they don't believe in God because they can't see him?
I sorta have.
They can't say that anymore... Just give them the example of the wind!!! :)
Well I'm going to end this,think one all I just said...okay :)
Well have a GREAT night and a wonderful day tomorrow!!! =D
