Hello everyone,
I can't believe that I haven't posted since
October. Things have been real crazy here. Not a good thing so I will not
spoil my time here mentioning it. I'll just say we need your prayers. :)
I miss you all so much. I am sorry I have
missed what has been going on with you and yours. I pray that you and
your families are all well and enjoying the holiday season.
This is what I am missing a lot. I love snow.
Isn't it pretty? This is a picture of the snow in the area that we lived in, in
the mountains of northern Utah. We always got several feet of snow. It was
great.
Here in Washington state the weather is
different. Well, in the western part of the state anyway. We have only had a
little frost. Lots of rain and freezing temps. Oh and wind that
knocks everything over outside too. Lol But no snow.
About the season....I have been thinking a
lot about Jesus and what he did for us. I do think about this all year round
but especially now when we celebrate his birth.
I don't think any of us can really understand
just how much He did for us. He came from a place where He had glory
like God, to be born in a manger. He lived a sinless life
that we would do well to do our best to imitate. He taught us how to live,
to serve each other to love each other. He loved us so much that we did
all this and died for us. Suffered the pains that we should suffer for our
sins. He did it so that we wouldn't have to if we would believe in Him and
come unto Him.
He also suffered all of the feelings of
all of us who lived, are living now and who will yet live on this earth. He
felt every emotion that we would ever feel...physical, mental and emotional
pain....sadness, loneliness, hate, anger, guilt, dispare, depression, love,
happiness and so much more. He did this so that He would know how to help
and succor us in our times of need.
I am so grateful for this. And honestly can’t
thank Him enough.
I would love to write more but I am limited
on the library computer.
Have a wonderful Christmas. Remember the
reason for the season.
Please leave comments letting me know how you
are doing. Take care and see you next year.
God bless.
Dear Janet ~ I have missed you too! I know you are still in a difficult period, but will pray for you that the sweet sunlight bursts through the clouds in 2014.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a beautiful post for Christmas, so true, and I concur with every word!
I'm sorry I didn't manage to visit before ~ I've been having a bit of a break from the screen ~ 'cos your sweet words (and courageous ones) deserved a hug!
Everything good for your New Year...please, God.
