Looking forward to 2010 and all it may hold. These last several weeks have been difficult as dh was once again unemployed (and continues to be) just before the Christmas season. But, once again, we see the faithfulness of Christ. We are trusting Him for the impossible and looking foward to what is in store. The road appears very harsh with lots of potholes right now, but I chose to hang on to the ONE who is holding tomorrow, and not fall into the potholes.
It always seems like my new year does not actually start til the second week of January -- that's when everything seems to fall back into routine. School has started, preschool has restarted, company's all returned home, the tree is down and most of the Christmas decorations are put away.
I'm debating on whether or not to put away the manger. Last January one of the Pastor's at my Mom's church did a sermon about not packing away the manger. (Oh, I know she meant it figuralitivy, but I'm very visual -- thus the dilemma.) I'll leave it out for a while longer and then decide.
On a cute note -- in preschool chapel last week the pastor asked why we celebrate Christmas. A little girl answered, "So we can celebrate Easter." The pastor commented that that was correct and then asked what happens at Easter, because Christmas and Easter are connected. The little ones said, "We get Easter eggs!!" It was really cute!d
Happy New Year!
