Thought for the Day (or a few days)

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Christmas is coming!


WOW! Thanksgiving is over the tree and Christmas decorations are up. The lights on the house are next. I feel behind though, as we celebrated Thanksgiving early because of Becky's due date and I am just getting it all done now. I should of had it done by now. Busy, Busy days. It will all get done and my favorite day is always tomorrow! I found a book as I unpacked the decorations, A Simple Christmas. This is going to be my motto this year: A simple Christmas. We need to focus on the spirit of Christmas!
I think of Martha: Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named aMartha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:38-42
I must remember to not be like Martha and get too carried away with all the activity of the season, the dinners, the gatherings. I must be like Mary and take the time, to sit and listen. To sit and enjoy the message.
Let us adore Him, let us rejoice! We can remember the simple birth of the Savior and give thanks for the miracle of His life. Let the season begin!
