I have always used the Friday after Thanksgiving to decorate my house for Christmas. This year will be no exception. I love this time of year. There is nothing more grand than celebrating Christ's birth and also our season of Thanks except Easter. I can't wait for the tree to go up, lights, ornaments and then holiday music and egg nog.
Tonight I have my first holiday party with a group of ladies I met when we entered a contest to attend Pat Smith's "Treasure You Girlfriend Retreat." So much has happened in my life since then, September 2012. I can't wait to share it with the girls. Of course the event won't be complete without a picture of all of us. (I'll have to tweet it to Pat :))
Lord, I am so happy for the friends in my life. It is because of relationships You went to the cross. May I be found always head over heals in love with You. Amen
Climbing the path with another healing souvenir. I'm on the lookout for other trinkets. I know the way will be challenging but I hear this particular climb has the best views once you arrive. I'm eager to see the beauty of nature but I don't want to miss the 'broken' places along the way which are in need of a touch.
Today I saw a squirrel scamper across my path and up a tree. He flew so fast you couldn't even make out his legs. I stopped to watch him play and thought about all the times I was so busy I couldn't be bothered to stop. It was only a squirrel but it represents someone crossing my path. I think the message today is to make sure I notice the people who intersect my life. You just never know who God is going to use to be pivotal in your life.
