Have You Made Room For Jesus?

country church at christmasDid you hear the news? There’s a new revelation that has been added to Exodus 20:8. It now says, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy except when it’s on December 25.

Last night my husband’s uncle was mentioning how his church changed their Sunday service times to just one service at 10:00am. There is nothing he can do about it, except attend another church for services on Christmas – and he is. I’m not writing this to aim at his church or any other particular church. I’m not mad at the many that do it, but sad. When we drove to our church this Christmas morning we passed at least 4 churches and only one of them was having a service on Christmas day.

There does seem to be plenty of room for Santa’s day.

Thank You For Reading

girl with christmas presentsJust want to take a couple minutes to say thank you so much for coming to my blog, for reading, for commenting, for entering contests, for clicking through affiliate links, for sharing it with your friends. I’m so grateful that you use some of your precious time here with me.

I would blog if I had 5 readers or 5000 [yes I'm addicted], but it makes it so-o, so very much nicer to have readers to interact with! I’m thankful for each and every one of you – and I mean that – every one. [Even my mother who never comments, but always knows what I've written ;) ]

As I feel the crunch of holiday busy -ness and gather with real life family and friends I might miss some days, but I won’t forget you. I want to let you know that I think of my readers and wish you the best at this Christmas time.

My Holiday Meltdown Was Unnecessary

Don’t Stress Over The Holidays

star over stableMy firstborn was born on December 8. Seventeen days before Christmas. Besides the fact that I didn’t get out of bed for 24 hours and couldn’t do stairs, it was our first child and we were pretty typical new parents…I think. Bottom line: We didn’t do much that Christmas.
