The Untitled Holiday One

This would be my facial expression after being told that there are only 7 days until Christmas! Ahhh! I have so much left to do! So, today was my day to accomplish I few things.  My Christmas shopping is completely done. The decorations are all up and the presents are wrapped under our beautifully decorated Christmas tree. I got my first spray tan done last night. I went from pale to waz-am in 20 minutes. I like it and I believe I might do it again. It's helping me out of this "I have four children, a second full time job teaching kids, and no energy" attitude.

So, I am taking a new approach. Everything is great and I will choose to see the humor in the things that aren't so great. So, I am going through another Christmas with children who may or may not be completely happy with what they have been given. One of my four children will find more joy from banging the Christmas toy against the tile than actually playing with the toy. It's all good. We are all so wonderfully unique. God bless Logan for having to go through two separate Christmases and feeling uncomfortable living a split life. God bless Sydney and Gracie for having a father who is choosing not to be involved in their lives. God bless Luke for being disabled. Honestly, God blessed my children through their circumstances. God gave Logan a step-mom who loves him and provides for him. God gave Sydney and Gracie a step-father to help them grow spiritually. God blessed Luke by giving him an entire family who prays for him every day.

So, for all that could frustrate us, we choose to view the blessings. What an awesome life we live and what an awesome God we serve! Merry Christmas all~
