It's almost Christmas!!!

I cannot believe that it has been nearly a month since I have posted anything. I must do better. Why have a blog if you are not going to post your thoughts on it? Beats me! I guess I think I really don't have anything to say, but I can put down my prayers and poems and random thoughts according to my good purposes and I really should do so. How many places can you write a run on sentence and no one in particular really cares??? HAHHAHHAHA I think it is a little dangerous when you begin to laugh at yourself or on the flipside it could be really inexpensive therapy!

I love Christmas!!! I love the wonder, excitement and mystery of it. It seems that things to quiet down in some ways but Heaven exploded with sound on that night so long ago when a virgin brought forth her firstborn son. What a night!!! How wonderful that God first went to the shepherds to declare peace on earth and good will to men. Since God came in peace toward us, why are we so hostile toward Him? God says that He has plans for us, not plans to harm us but to give us a hope and a future. Who else gives such wonderful promises? What about I will be with you always even until the end of the age??? Who can promise they will never leave you? Not one human being can promise that because in reality we have no control over the length of our days. People can tell me not to fear and to be honest it doesn't do me much good, but when God says "Fear Not", well I can take that to the bank. I can trust Him, He knows what is best for me even when circumstances are painful. Jesus died in excruciating pain. Who am I to live without pain? I don't seek out pain, but I should allow the Lord to walk me through it. I need to trust Him and surrender all that I am to Him and allow Him to be glorified through this broken clay vessel. Amen
