Briscoe and I are digging through the house today, trying to find all the presents that I've bought over the past month, and wrapping them up. Actually, wrapping is probably a strong word, I prefer putting large bows on the gift and not using wrapping paper. But because I'm a maker's mark ambassador (thanks to JBlanchard!), I have some sweet maker's mark wrapping paper that must be used.
I secretly want to go to the mall today, just to see the crowds and the sales and all that jazz. I'm not sure I have anything else to buy, which makes going to mall sound ridiculous. I might not be able to stop myself.
Briscoe and I are sending out Happy New Year Cards, and they are super cute, so email me your address if you want one!
I'm going to leave you with my favorite Christmas verses, they are always the same, but they make me happy every year. I hope you all have a Happy Christmas!
Luke 2 (NIV)
The Shepherds and the Angels
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
John 1 (The Message)
The Life-Light
the Word present to God,
God present to the Word.
The Word was God,
in readiness for God from day one.
Everything was created through him;
nothing–not one thing!-
came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
the darkness couldn't put it out.
(emphasis added)
the thin line between optimism and delusion... 
Merry Christmas!!!!
Thank you so much for the verse – I love that last line in John 🙂
I hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas and I’m praying that this new year will be a great one for you!
lots of love,
