The Background Dilema...

Sooo, I changed my background... because it's Christmas-time for heavens sake.

Normally this would prompt me to write about Christmas and all the feelings that it envokes, but I'm not feeling it. I LOVE LeeLou's background... please Karma don't get me wrong. But... this just must not be the one for me. Maybe it has something to do with the almost pinkish-ness of some of the trees. Maybe it's too country for the girl that thought she loved nature and hugging trees. I'm really not sure. Perhaps I'm subconsciouly more commercial than I realized and need a freaking Santa Claus grinning me down every time I sign in. Maybe that's the problem... I'm not making it REAL Christmas-y... and I need a star and shepherds and a sweet holy family with a squishy holy baby. (I'm saying this in a adoring way... NOT a blasphemous way... I promise! ;) )

Hmmm. I will have to keep looking around. :)

For now... know that I DO love Christmas. I DO hope it snows. I DO hope that we can provide some silly present to all the people we love and adore and care about in an effort to let them know that we love and adore and care about them. Know that I do believe in Santa and his magic and SURE there could be a reindeer with a glowing red nose! Why not!?!?!

Found this picture here.

But mostly... no matter what...

"Walking With God" by Morgan Weistling

Know that I am grateful for a little baby. Baby Jesus. I do love Christmas because it reminds me of my Saviors humble beginning. He started small and humble and stayed humble as He stayed that way as He learned and grew and taught and healed and loved and helped. I am still small... but I'm trying to learn and grow and heal and love and help. I'm ok with Christmas reminding me of a loving Heavenly Father who sent His Son... little and vunerable to be a shining example for me. To live and breathe and die for me. Little old me.
Maybe that's why I like stars sooo much. I just realized that I love and crave that shining sparkle of happiness that a star brings. And the brightest star I know of... is... The Son.
