with michael and shelley. it was awesome. tomlin is an amazing worship leader and it was a great way to jump into Christmas. louie went through the Christmas story using nothing but scripture. it was incredibly refreshing. it's funny how we always seem to add to this Story to make it more interesting or more entertaining, but the real story is always better. we are trying very hard this year not to get wrapped up in the "stuff" that surrounds Christmas and trying instead to keep our focus on the real story, Luke 2:1-20.
we have been busily getting prepared to celebrate, but we seem to have hit a road block because our family room is still covered in boxes. the lights and wreaths on the house are up (thanks husband!), the tree is up (without lights or decorations), the garland for the stairs is still in boxes (oops), the stockings are hung (yeah!) and the mantel is 1/2 way complete (or 1/2 way uncomplete). i guess it is a good thing i'm not going to school tomorrow -- hopefully, i will get motivated to finish the decorating so we can enjoy the rest of the Season without the boxes.
i hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their Christmas Season! try to keep Christ at the center of your Christmas this year -- it is only because of Him that we have a reason to CELEBRATE! we love you Jesus!
