So I have decided that I am not so great at the blogging. I love the idea of it. I love to write. I have tons of stories. I think I just lack creative ways to share them. Or motivation. Or I don't have time. Or I fear rejection. Or I fear boring people to death. Who knows what the real reason it. I do want to keep trying though. So my 3 readers out there... please stick with me!! I thought this would also be a great way for out of town family and friends to keep up with our growing little man, but if I don't blog, how will they keep up? I can barely keep up with our growing little man.
He's quite active these days. And the Christmas tree, oh, it is just temptation like no other. For a while, he really seemed to do well with it, but now, he just wants to shake it and throw ornaments! He's walking all over the place, climbing everything, and into everything! Right now, there are about 100 blank cd's all over my living room floor, 2 paper towel cardboard centers, 2 socks, and a mirror that I can't seem to find anywhere. How is it that a 1 year old can hide something that an adult can't seem to find anywhere? It blows my mind. He's had a blast this morning though. Right now, he is sleeping and the hubby is out for a bit. So my house is quiet, it's cloudy, cold, and rainy outside... wait... I should be sleeping!! Why am I blogging? I am actually working on Christmas cards. I love Christmas cards! I love getting them and sending them. It's so fun, and I can't wait until Parker is old enough to be involved in it. I am also getting excited about Christmas Treasures tonight at my church. It's a wonderful time for ladies with great food, great worship, great speakers, great atmosphere and so on and so on. I love this time of year... isn't it the most wonderful time?
As I said, I love Christmas cards. I love the excitement of the season. I love my house decorated for Christmas. I love having a toddler in the house for Christmas. I love the reason we celebrate Christmas. I love being able to tell the story of Jesus to my baby boy even though he doesn't really understand me right now. I love that my hubby gets some well deserved time off this time of year. I love the special ways people reach out this time of year.
What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
As I challenge myself to find special ways to touch people this season, I challenge you as well. Sharing the love of Jesus should be done all year, but couldn't we do just a little extra in honor of His birthday!
