God Rocks!

I want to say how awesome God is to me!!! He is so faithful. He blesses me beyond my understanding.

God helps me in the little things. The things that seem insignificant, that is where I find Him often.

For instance, there is a song I want to do for sign choir. I could not find anyone who had it and thought I was going to have to buy it. This morning, I decided to go thru old CD's to find a fast song. I picked up a CD, started listening to it, and what did I discover? I HAD IT!! The whole time!!! I just know God had a good chuckle over my reaction to finding it. That is not the first time that has happend, mind you.

God surprises me like that all the time. Kind of like a parent who tries to surprise a child, cause it is fun to see their little faces.

God not only meets my needs like He promised, but He goes above and beyond. I know how blessed I am, and I appreciate it.

Think about the many blessings in your life. Once you start listing, you just go on and on. You think about that......

The ELF Movie

Hello. I love Christmas. Love. Love. Love. Not only is it the celebration of the birth of Christ, but it seems to be the only time of year mean people try to be nice. Sad, but true.

I love the lights, I love the music, I love singing carols about Jesus. And I love the movies and specials.

One of my friends had a special affinity for the movie Elf. I do not. I tease her about it. But, she told me one of the reasons she likes it is that no matter what happens, the main character, Buddy the Elf, is happy. He finds joy in all things. Nothing gets him down. She says that is what speaks to her. That we should all find that much joy in all circumstances, and we should find joy in even the little simple things.

So, this year, I will watch Elf with a re-newed interest and try to look at life through Buddy's eyes. You think about that......
