Its been a while since I have posted a blog...but I am up early this morning...feeling better then I have in over week....Thank God! No but I am up with all kind of thoughts going through my mind. How many people go in debt for Christmas? How many people give a gift just to say they have given? My husband was standing in the door way and I was talking to him about Christmas....and he made the comment "oh....I thought you were going to suggest we do something different this year....like work in a soup kitchen" I remember thinking that would be nice but no.... I read something this morning that has me stirred! What if we got really radical and did not open any gifts at all on Christmas morning....what if we totally gave back! What if my kids got excited because they knew they were giving to a child that was in need...or was helping to serve food to those who had none......as I am sitting here I all ready know I will get phone calls or emails from loved ones and friends saying that I have lost my mind....but how much better is it to give then to receive. I want to live so much different then I have been . I feel as if I have been dead but ready to be revived. I don't want to live life as I use to. I want to have so much God in me that others see it to! I want to be more then just a Wednesday or Sunday Christian I want to live a life that is pleasing to Him.....I want my kids to grow up with a love and relationship with God that comes from understanding His love. As I am sitting here.....all I can think of is how can I give back....I am blessed more then I deserve.....How can I bless others? Well little ones are up and stirring....I just presented the idea to them....should have seen the twins faces....they were stunned with the idea.....guess I have lots and lots of praying to do.
