I feel so omni-present lately with the blogging, mostly due to me actually being able to relax a little bit and spend some much needed quality time with my family. I truly am grateful that I have been able to spend some time with them, even though it is only for a week.
What I'm grateful for most is the fact that I do not have to do the dishes while I'm home, I feel like such an honored guest! Anyways, now that Thanksgiving is completed, and black Friday is over (praise the Lord), as consumers we can put all of our focus and energy on Christmas, because that's what Christmas is about right? Seeing how many boxes can be stuffed under the tree for whiny and ungrateful children. I'm not saying I'm perfect, because even at my best I whine a lot, which is not something I'm proud of, but I give it darnedest to keep the main thing the main thing during the Christmas season. Jesus coming to this earth as an innocent and beautiful baby all because God gave us His perfect gift.
As I'm writing this Oh Holy Night is playing on my radio station thus making this seem more poetic than it probably is, but I would like to challenge you, my reader, to keep your focus not on the list of things that you receive, not the exact items you give people, but the heart that you had when you were able to bless a loved one. I challenge you to focus on the pain and joy that God had while He blessed His people with the perfect gift that would ultimately bring everlasting life.
