Merry Christmas!

From the S Club to YOU...


Merry Christmas!


I don't know if it's the hormones but today's tv shows have been making me cry all morning. All the generosity being shown this time of year really touches my heart. I love Christmas!

But more than people loving on one another, I love the fact that they are giving a smaller version of the greatest gift of all: Jesus. He gave His life for us and on this day, His Father gave Him to us. I hope you take time this holiday to remember that He is the Reason for this season.

Father,
I thank You for this time of the year. I know it's cold and the weather outside is frightening. But this is the one season where even Scrooges open their hearts to others, whether family or strangers. I thank You for all the generosity shown toward my family this past year; without it we would be in dire situations. I know that You are in some hearts all year long, but this year I pray that more people find You through Your Son, that more people are drawn to Your love and eternal promise. I also ask for families to come together to worship You during this time of Your greatest Gift.
Amen

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
