Mom's Thoughts on Sundays & Christmas II

Today started early, up at 6 to practice at church. Late night Steeler game, ugh... Steeler fans what'd you think of that nailbiter? Deflating. After the game there was last minute cleanup, in preparation for family to arrive after church. Anyway, little sleep last night. But rose "bright eyed and bushy tailed" praying in the shower for help to worship.

I love Sunday. I love to be with my family, extended through our adoption into God's family: I love to go church. I don't know what your experience is with "church." I only know that it is the best part of my week, I come each Sunday needy and weak, and God meets me, refreshes and restores. I bring nothing (but my mucky, sinful heart) and God gives everything, what love. When my attention is turned to this Holy God, I see my need of a Savior and I am humbled. How He then changes the mess in my heart (that I can't even understand,) it seems a mystery...and I am free. Soaring in joyful worship. So I will say boldly today, only the blood of Christ can create this miracle in my heart, in any heart. Oh, I hope you will love Sunday too.

Church, then home to do last minute tasks, then the family arrived for Christmas II with Barry's siblings. It was a warm, friendly, peace-filled gathering (with lots of good food.) We were so happy to be able to share our home and spend time together.

Day is done, the new week begins...

Let's see what new adventures await.

G'Night All

Computers!

Way to much time with my computer today! Live chatted with about 5 tech geeks, uninstalling and installing, everything a mucky mess, but...here I am blogging. So alls well that ends well, I'm online. Didn't meet today's intended daily goals, that's OK. The dishes are done, all creatures, and people fed, SOME laundry done and Sara embarked into Algebra, organic Chemistry, and decided to write her research paper on Woodpeckers. Sara loves birds, birdwatching and reading about them. We enjoy watching them on the feeder on our porch. Tomorrow is major cleanup day for visiting family on Sunday, maybe you. It is great to know that God is near even as I type this. He numbers each keystroke, and cares for each care on each heart that reads this. How awesome. G' Night.
