This month has flown by, and I can't believe it is already Christmas! We tend to always rush and rush and then Christmas goes by and you don't take the time to actually enjoy this special time. At church a few Sundays back our preacher used Ross as an example, and I about lost it!! He was preaching on how God gave his only Son, so he may die for you! So he came and got Ross and took him to the front of the church and asked Adam, " Would you give your only son to die for us?" WOW! It really hit home, because there is no way I would ever give my son to die for all people in the world, but isn't it amazing that God gave us such a special GIFT so that we can spend eternity with Him and His Son in Heaven!!!! I can't put it into words how humbling that moment was for me. I realized that I take things for granted to many times and overlook the mercy and grace that God has for us, even when we forget! So during this Christmas, I am going to thank God, with my family and friends, that he did give his only Son so that I may live with them forever!!
I am going to leave you with a few pictures of our busy, but fun time we have been having around here!!
