Christmas Blues
This is my favorite time of year, but for some reason I seem to have the Christmas blues. I ended Novemeber in a thankful state of mind with family and friends and preparing for the Christmas season with a little decorating and shopping on Black Friday. Here it is Dec. 1 and I just can't seem to get in the mood to finish the decorating and shopping. My heart's desire it to keep it simple, less hectic, focused on Jesus and giving to others. I pray that I will allow the Holy Spirit to accomplish this. I anticipate with great joy times of fun and fellowship with family and friends. I hold on to memories from past holidays with family who have gone on to be with the Lord, especially my grandmothers. It's been four years since the death of my maternal grandmother Aka "Bootsie" and nearly two years since the passing of my dad's mother, best known as "MaMa". Once I turned 18 they seemed more like best friends than grandmothers. They both were always there to listen, love and encourage me. I thank God for blessing me with a loving relationship with both of my grandmothers. In conclusion I admit my heart is still tender from the loss of my sweet and precious grandmothers. Dear God fill this void with your joy, love and peace-that surpasses all understanding!!! I thank you for family and friends to share this time of year with!!! Make yourself so ever REAL to me this Christmas season!!!

You may have the "Christmas Blues" but you are filled with a spirit that is full of Christmas colors to me! You are such an encouragement and your sweet spirit always blesses those who are near you! I feel your loss of your grandparents as I am drawing close to a season of loss in my life. But on the other hand I am so blessed to have the great blessing of holding new life in my arms this Christmas season as well. God is good...I am reminded, once again that HE IS Emmanuel, God is with US!
Merry Christmas sweet friend!

I know what you mean! Keeping it simple is so much more peaceful. The only thing is that you have to get ready one way or the other. I just wish I had the time to sit at home in front of the fireplace with a warm blanket, my journal and a good hot cup of coffee! I look forward to getting to know you better through this. Our daughters are already great friends. See you soon and thanks for today!
