Merry Christmas!


I find myself at the verge of tears at the drop of a hat these days. Nothing is wrong. I am just overwhelmed at God's blessings in our lives. When I think about where we were last year compared to this year I am reminded of God's ever present provision. He is so faithful. And I am so not faithful. I think that is where the emotion comes from. I am so undeserving of his love and tender mercies and I am fully aware of it right now. When I see others hurting I cry. When I have the opportunity to bless I cry. I'm just crying all the time. We have beautiful healthy children, a warm home, wonderful friends and family who love us...I don't think the word 'thankful' adequately describes how I feel. I hope that this Christmas you can focus on God's provision in your lives, especially in the Son that was born.

I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed Christmas!

What a wonderful family picture. :)
I feel the same way you do. Just blessed beyond words and oh so undeserving. I find myself crying at the thought of how undeserving I am, yet, God still loves me and blesses me. The other day I handed a homeless woman (who I've driven past for a year) a $10 bill. I rolled my window up and burst into tears. Just very emotional and grateful. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

You have a beautiful family. I, too, am filled to the brim with thankfulness. The Lord has blessed my family beyond measure. I just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy New Year and invite you to join me each week for Crock Pot Wednesday. I hope you can make it this week. Mister Linky will be up by Tuesday evening.
