We got to sleep in and snuggle before we headed out for the whole day. My dear sister-in-law made us sticky buns, so we had breakfast in bed. We tried to absorb peace, quietness to calm our spirits for the day.
I have not been a hug type of person. I always said that I have a 'bubble of comfort space around me'. Fortunately, I have friends that pushed themselves through my bubble space, and stayed.
I'm trying to change, my goal was to give lots of hugs for Christmas day, I gave a few and what a blessing of love. Don't know why this is such a struggle for me, but I'm trying to open my heart and real.
Lunch was with his family, dinner with my family. Just home in between to dump off and reload.
Seeing pictures of ALL the presents under the trees kind of makes me sad. Christmas is about Christ. But we get caught up in that Christmas is for us. Presents for you, presents for me, presents for everyone. How much do I sit and be..
Still
Believe
Worship?
I want to remember that I am nothing without Christ. Because of Christ, I can believe, be forgiven and have peace.
But
even in the busyness of the day, it is such a privilege to be
surrounded Christ believing family. I feel like I forget to thank God
for this. Family that truly enjoy to give, willing to sacrifice for others.
My family kinda surprised me (we had talked about it, but never made a decision) with giving enough money to sponsor two Chinese children for a year.
My heart is just full and running over. It was again the reminder that I needed that we ARE doing something for God's kingdom. That we are defending the fatherless. I didn't need any gifts, this is all that my heart needed.
