Sandy got the yearly traditional cookies done yesterday just in time to take out for Caroling at church last night.
We picked up our grand-daughter Mary Kate and joined a few dozen other people at our church to visit members of the church family who don't get out of their homes often.
It was a blessing to the Carolers and the Carolees - we asked the people we went to visit what their favorite carol was so that we could sing that for them and the answer was always:
"I love them all!"
(although one gentleman at a retirement home really wanted us to sing "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer")
What a great answer,
we love all of the songs that celebrate our Saviors birth.

As we were reading our Christmas devotional this morning we came across this quote:
"The reason we celebrate Christmas is that
we are still blown away
by the incredible news that
God became a baby that night in Bethlehem."
In the midst of cookies, shopping, wrapping, caroling, we read a message like that and we stop and think and the wonder of it all
BLOWS
US
AWAY!
"When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow!"
John 15:10-11
God, who said, "let there be light in the darkness,"
has made this light shine in our hearts
so we could know the glory of God
that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 4:6
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING
AND TAKE A MOMENT
TO BE
BLOWN AWAY!
