December 1

December is here with all of the hustle and bustle that goes with the Christmas season. It can leave you so stressed out and, if you are not careful, drained of any of the joy that is suppose to be part of the season. This year we have committed to focus more on the real reason for the season. I want to make sure that my children realize God's gift of Jesus is the whole reason - not just for the the season, but the reason for everything. I also hope we can teach them that the "other" things we associate with Christmas -love, peace, joy, kindness, generosity - are not just about Christmas, but rather Christ-likeness. They are the things we should strive to show everyday, not just for a season...
