Bible Study Blues

My Wednesday morning Bible study finished last week. I definitely miss it. I didn't really know what to do with myself today. I managed to take the kids out in the bitter cold (20*, brrrr) and we did some grocery shopping and got some craft materials for our Friend Craft Day tomorrow, but it just wasn't the same. I love coming together with other women and sharing what God is teaching you through a particular study, learning from one another and praying for each other. Today was just a weird day with out it. Thankfully Bible study starts back up in a few weeks!!

Good Advice

I just received some good advice from bug number one:

Don't eat poop, Mama!

I'll keep that in mind kiddo when the mood strikes!

Holiday Fever!

Do you have it? I know I do. I love, love, LOVE the Holiday Season! I love it all; the craziness, the shopping (not in crazy lines or on black friday), the gifting, the receiving, the eating, the tree, the lights, the snow. Yes, even the snow! I love it all. One of my favorites is Christmas music! Day after Thanksgiving that music is playing and pretty much doesn't stop until Jan 01. One of the neat things about this year is that bug number 1 is really old enough to start 'getting' Christmas. She loves all the "pretty lights." We have been talking about Christmas being a celebration for Jesus' birthday and how much we love Him and how much He loves us! It is so cute to hear her singing happy birthday to Jesus! We have stacking pyramid blocks and she calls those the "birthday candle" and blows it out after singing to Jesus! PRECIOUS!
She has Psalm 100:2 covered!
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

I am so excited for this time of year! I hope that you are really enjoying it as much as I am.

Grace and Peace to you this Holiday Season!

Christ is Born!!
