Mr. Grinch! So I watched the Grinch who stole Christmas this weekend, and this may be a little far fetched, but I could actually relate. The Whos in Whoville were getting so wrapped up in the perfect Christmas presents and outdoing the neighbors with their decorations. I, for one, have been very enticed by the stuff that Christmas brings. I have spent way too much money, and the thought of spending a couple of hours at Target gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I just need to re-focus on what Christ-mas is all about! I was thinking about it and I might try it one year...if I can convince the family...what if instead of spending all our time and energy on shopping and decorating, we spent the season serving and blessing those in need? No presents allowed. Wouldn't that be kind of cool? I'm sure the kids would throw a fit...but wouldn't it be a good reminder that the reason we celebrate this time of year is because our Almighty God showed up one night in the form of a helpless babe. Just a thought. More for myself than anything because this year I am seriously entwined in the world's version of Christmas. Other than that, things are good! Taryn is so amazing my heart just swells with love for her! Her little personality is blossoming..and let me tell ya, she can already be a little stinker! But a pretty darn cute one. I am so excited for my sister to have a baby boy in April! This will be the first boy in our family for 10 years now! I just know that God purposely wanted to bless them abundantly with the gift of a son. How awesome. Well, ta ta for now!!
Love,
Jo

We should all do that! or even giving to an organization like Compassion or a family in need in the community!
There is meals on wheels if you want to get involved this season, throught the local nursing home! It's a great way to serve the community!
