Christmas Is Nearing
I don't know about ya'll, but Christmas is such a special time around here! Our daughter is 2 and 1/2 and understands that Christmas means presents. ("Is tomorrow Christmas? Is it Christmas time now?") Although she is only 2 and 1/2 she knows about Jesus Christ and that he lives in her heart, if you ask her she'll tell you where he lives! But when telling her the Christmas story her 2 year old mind is quite set on the gifts still. We will be focusing more next year on the giving spirit for sure and Jesus' Birthday!
Now my family is a blended family so we have SEVERAL outings to attend to this season, 8 so far, spread over a weeks course starting with tomorrow. This can be very exhausting, and rough some years but is nevertheless humbling knowing there is so many loved ones in our lives. We also volunteered (were told) to be in our church Christmas play tomorrow! Yes, John is in it too, surprisingly. My Grandpa is the pastor at our little country church, and the whole family is a part of this. 2 sets of Grandparents, my parents, my sisters, my nephew, and Addy, John and I! I will definetly be posting pictures afterwards.
On another note, the bad winter storm that was expected to arrive tonight, has turned into warmer temps and rain instead. We are praying the rain stays as far away or as minimal as possible. After the snow storm last week our fields are saturated so there is no where for the rain to go. In the spring of 2011 we had a bad spill of rain that flooded and destroyed some of our hay fields, so we're hoping histroy does not repeat itself in December!
I would love to know what your weather is like this week and where you are from! Comments are LOVED
