Merry Christmas, Friends!
I pray that your day has been filled with the wonder of our Lord's birth. While I've known for some time
what Christmas is all about, church last night reminded me of the sacrifice that Jesus made in coming to Earth to live and die for all of us. That was clearly a reminder that I needed. I've spent my day since thinking a lot about how I can sacrifice for Jesus in the coming year.
Though we spend a lot of time teaching our children that we only celebrate Christmas because of the gift of Jesus, we believe that Santa can co-exist in that framework. So we do the "Santa thing" and open presents and eat lots of unhealthy food. Despite all that, it was a quiet day in the Scott house and I'm grateful for that. On Christmas Eve we arrived home safely from our trip to see "the Grandmas and Grandpa." While I appreciate the nice weather in Florida right now, I am tired of mosquitoes!
I've also posted a couple of book reviews over at
Jamie's Precious Peas. One is actually a DVD that a friend helped me review. There are three cute Sesame Street stories about toddler life events: saying goodbye to a pacifier, getting a first haircut, and learning to ride a trike. Very cute!
I also reviewed
Fit Moms for Life, a great book about getting moms in shape. I highly recommend this book for end-of-the-year reading.
More communication tips to come this week. For now, let's all enjoy the next few days as the Christmas craziness subsides.
God's best to you!
Andrea
