time

take time to laugh MORE!

love this! saw this last night and i started thinking...today i want to...

take time to love more.
take time to kiss my heath more.
take time to look my babies in the eyes when they are talking and laughing more.

no matter...

how many dishes there are.
how high the piles of clean and dirty laundry are.
that every room in our home seems to have exploded with toys and clothes.
how busy i 'think' we are.

time is such a precious gift.

give time this christmas season. check out www.adventconspiracy.org. we spend a little less on our kiddos so we can love on kids in our community www.leapinoutreach.org and kids across the globe www.water.cc.
happy 12 twelve days of christmas left!

it's a known fact...

It's a known fact...
that I get overwhelmed and stressed at the Christmas season. Sad...but true.

It is also a known fact...
that when I spend time in God's Word, I relax and things don't seem to be as 'BIG' as I make them out to be.

So...I saw this reading plan ( http://withoutwax.tv/2010/12/01/rediscovering-christmas/ ) on one of the blogs I follow. And I'm going to include it here.

I started yesterday. I'm not going to go back and read the days I missed. And I will probably be hit and miss on the other days for the rest of the month. But I love being in random books of the Bible on given days. I love JOY on my face and anxiety OFF my chest. I love fresh focus and new perspective. I love enjoying Christmas season...the giving, the get togethers, the giggles, and so much more.

Will you join me?
