Sort of Scrooge-ish to admit that sometimes these events are just work...and not that exciting? This week, though, we have meet several evenings...yes, "we"...have had lots of elves assisting. Those times have been fun with lots of laughs and jokes and minds coming together on all the decoration ideas. The Spirit there as been so present. Good times.
Tonight's theme is Express Yourself, as we are using the Polar Express movie/decorations as our motif. How cute! Our focus word is "Believe," and what better time of the year to share that message than this...or any day, as far as that goes.
Tonight kicks off a series of Christmas events for our little country church...next week dinner and a tour of a live nativity scene in a nearby town, our second annual Christmas Play, a candlelight service...just that time of the year for continual reminders to exist to encourage us to remember the true meaning and reason for this season.
I, also, just finished Debbie Macomber's Christmas Comes to Cedar Grove. Her novels are always light with gentle messages and references to our Godly beliefs. I hope to read at least one Christmas novel a week this month. Next up...Richard Paul Evans' The Mistletoe Inn. I always enjoy his novels.
I do hope you are finding time for you this season...after all, isn't the gift of time one of the most precious gifts we receive? Jesus gave us that gift, spending time here on earth, leaving with us His Holy Spirit who always has time for me...for you...for that soul just waiting to receive Him.
My prayer for you is that season be real to you as The Gift of His Salvation is ever renewed within you.
Merry Christmas!
