Our Christmas

Our family Christmas was a little bit different than in years past.  We enjoyed a wonderful time with my husband’s side of the family on Christmas Eve.  My poor husband had to work through much of the weekend.  He missed this dinner and one son had to work, but he did arrive late:

Christmas morning to work around my husband’s work, we got up very early!  Here are our boys opening up some presents:

Christmas night was a pretty quiet, rainy night at home.  Monday night my side of the family came over for a late Christmas dinner! 

I can’t believe how few pictures that I took this year!  I did take several of my nieces and nephews this year:

Girls are so easy to photograph!

    Lovely pictures - looks like everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

    I will be joining you in treasuring and pondering this week. I am praising the Lord for being with me every moment of 2010 - the ups and downs - and for showing His love and faithfulness to me and my family.

    2011 - I just know that God has plans!! How exciting!

    GOD BLESS!

    Looks like a quiet, WONDERFUL Christmas...love the John Deere sweatshirts....I have found that some years I take soo many pics it is hard to sort through them all, and some years (like this one) I didn't take ANY at all. Already regretting that, haha...Have a good day.

    I just have one question......how did you manage to have a Gator fan and a Seminole fan in the same room and still have a peaceful time? ha! ha! All you needed was a Georgia Bulldog fan and you would have had a real war!! :-) Like the John Deere sweats, too!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
