Ah, coffee. You have come into my life and set me free from the grips of a headache. Kids are napping.
I've always loved Christmas, but this year the season has coincided with a season of refreshing for us as a family, too. I believe this was meant to be to the glory of God. A weekend ago our family took a trip North for a few days to kick off what I feel is going to be a very joyful holiday season for us. There is a time and a season for everything and every purpose under heaven, and it is simply time for us to be refreshed.
"Give Reviving," a hymn revived by Sandra McCracken song thanks God's promises for his promises, but asks for present blessings. Such is the Christmas season - full of blessings, gifts undeserved, and cause for rejoicing. This year, I hope that we will maintain an attitude of rejoicing and thankfulness. We are trying to do Advent devotions, and take it easy as far as travel and gifts.
It has been a very productive weekend for us - productivity can be refreshing, as well. Among projects: house decorated for Christmas (inside and out), with room left inside for more touches/evolution; hosted Thanksgiving; gave Stefan first haircut; made first diaper cake, and cooked ahead to be prepared for next two weeks of meals. Now it is time to make more baby food. I confess I wish I could just nap, because I am fatigued, but that is what the coffee was for.
Father, keep send reviving!
