Well after waiting way too long this year. We finally decorated for Christmas. I know, I know considering it's less that 2 weeks until Christmas, it is about time I got in gear. Friday night while Katie was at a friend's house. We rearranged some things. Then Sat. morning Katie and I were ready to get to work. Well after I came alive (I'm not a morning person, unlike my precious daughter). So after I was considered part of the living, we got to work. We put up the Christmas tree and decorated all around, while listening to Christmas music. Of course we had to wait until my hubby got home to put the tree topper on, since him and Katie do this together every year. And we had to get our traditional picture of them putting it on together :) Even though she informed me she is actually big enough to put it on by herself, but she said she still wanted to do it with her daddy anyway.
Then last night we went to see Santa & Mrs. Claus. So I could get a picture. At first Katie told me she didn't care if we went or not, since she now knows about Santa ;( But she later came and told me even though she knows she wanted to go anyway.. Yeah!! This made mommy very happy, because I really wanted a picture. The funny thing was we knew Santa (at the time Katie did not figure out who it was, until later in the car after we had left) Santa was actually my bestie's uncle. And our mailman :) So then it made a lot more sense to her how Santa & Mrs. Claus knew to tell us to look carefully at the candy to make sure everything in there was safe for her, due to her allergies. Boy, was she looking at Mrs. Claus strangely when she said this to us. Then when her daddy told Santa what he wanted (Santa was in our local furniture store and my dh saw a sectional he wanted and told Santa to bring it when he came by the house next week) So once we got in the car, going down the road, Katie had her "ah ha " moment and said "that was Mr. Tom" wasn't it!! LOL She said that explains a lot. LOL That's how Santa & Mrs. Claus knew about my severe peanut allergy!!
Today we had a wonderful day of worship. Two marvelous lessons on methods of Evangelism. How to reach others and bring them to Christ and his church. It was a great day. Do you know how Christ died for you so you could be saved through baptism, for the remission of sins. It's amazing each and every time you think about how, Jesus though he had no sins of his own. Died for all of ours sins. And yet so many turn away from his word. And never become a part of his church. It really saddens me to think of all those who are lost in the world. Do you know about Jesus, about his birth, life, death and resurrection. Do you know how God sent his only son to die on the cross so we could all be free from sin, through baptism. Read his word daily, meditate on it daily, hide it in your heart. Spend time learning about Jesus and all he did for you, for us all. It is beyond amazing. The love he has for us, us who are all sinners. Yet he had no sin, but still died for our sins. That is amazing LOVE!!
Katie decided to spend the night with her maw & paw (my mom & dad). So it was very odd around here tonight (too quite..LOL). Well it was until my dh fell asleep, since then I've had plenty of snoring to take away all the quiteness. :O
Well it's getting late, time for bed. Adios for now.
