Only 7 days!

Sorry I haven't been posted anything in a while. I've been under the weather, but definitely feeling better now.

I hope everyone is ready for a blessed week. So many things can distract us from what's really important. Something happened to me this week that really upset me, but when I think about God's love for me and the beautiful gifts he has given me, I can't help but put it all into perspective. His love for us is so amazing! He gave His one and only Son to be our lamb. I heard a song this week called "Lamb of God". I love the image that brings to mind. Jesus truly is the Lamb of God.

A few weeks ago I had mentioned the passage in Luke 2. I like verse 19 that says Mary treasured these things in her heart. The Message puts it this way: "Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself." She held them dear, they were precious to her. Let's keep our love for God and each other precious and dear, but let's also show the world what He's done for us and what He can do for them.

To all my sisters: Have a blessed and beautiful Christmas!
