We spent time with family. We ate italian sausages. We played a part in some couple's engagement story in front of the National Christmas tree. We opened our new pajamas. And I cried while trying to read our traditional Christmas books.
Merry Christmas to all my VOX neighbors and friends
and Happy New Year too!
So it seems that we, as a society, are in short supply of holiday spirit. The world seems to have gone mad and the holiday seems to be the reason. Strange isn't it? How is it we seem to get all worked up and upset about what parking spot we get or how long the lines are when the reason we are celebrating is the greatest gift of all? WWJD? Well, I doubt he would behave as I have behind the wheel of the car the last few days. It's a good thing I don't drive a tank! You'd be reading about the carnage left on the beltway and visiting me in my cell.
So how do we fix things? I know I need to focus more on the reason for the season. I just wish I could get everyone else to do the same, lol.
Or any other body part for that matter. Now it was another story for Alex and Josiah.....
I'm kind of bummed, I left 80 some degree weather for this....
This picture was stolen from my sister's FB page because I left my camera in Florida (I should have left myself in Florida.)
I will enjoy my family at Christmas but certainly not this weather! Hey, Mom you were wise to stay in the south!
If there is anything my mother isn't known for, it's being graceful on her feet. My mother trips and bumbles over the smallest things, sometimes over nothing at all.

"The absolute holiness of God should be of great comfort and assurance to us. If God is perfectly holy, then we can be confident that His actions toward us are always perfect and just. We are often tempted to question God's actions and complain that He is unfair in His treatment of us. This is the devil's lie, the same thing he did to Eve. He essentially told her, "God is being unfair to you" (Gen. 3:4-5). But it is impossible in the very nature of God that He should be unfair. Because He is holy, all His actions are holy." Jerry Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness
