~Season of Simplicity~

I am back on! Just in time for the holiday season. We had a phone

repair guy come and he figured out our Internet problem

...moisture in the phone box, down the road from our home.

He fixed it and now we have Internet back. As for me I have

continued to go to the doctors, we seemed to have pinpointed

the problem and I should be having surgery after the holidays.

It will be 1 surgery covering 2 problems...sort of a 2 for 1!

Do you like my header picture? I have a craft program and

found the picture in it. It reminded me of simplicity

and youthful excitement. The kind that I am sure the

Lord loves to see us in..instead of in a holiday madness

and shopping craze.

Christmas has, for many been, stretched to what it is not

...I hope for you and your family that Christmas

remains what it is meant to be instead.

Jesus' birth had a simplicity about it. No fancy birthing suite

in a big hospital. Now I know most of us would prefer not to

give birth in a stable...but the workability of Jesus' birth

is what made it so simple...it worked out with out all the

big shebang and fanciness we think things need. No fancy car to

get Mary and Joseph to the hospital. No modern wheel chair to

get Mary to her birthing spot. No fancy layette for the baby

to sleep in Just a simple space in a simple space....and yet

it all worked out.

I wonder if Christmas can simply work out if we keep it simple

and not complicated...What would Jesus want my celebration to look

like? A mad rush to get it all right or a simpler memory filled with

simple smiles and happiness. It is something to think about for

sure! I have missed "talking" with everyone online! I hope

everyone is doing well...

Wishing everyone an enjoyable time of Christmas preparation......

Remember to simply enjoy this Holiday Season for what

it really is and not for what it really is not!
