Remember and Rejoice!

"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago."  Psalm 77:11


Tis the season to remember  
and rejoice!


It's time to put up the decorations,
buy a few gifts,
make some delightful goodies,
and above all 

prepare our hearts 
to worship our Savior!
 

Let the fun begin!

 Lyssa and Kyle helping with the tree...2005
 
Oh wait...
The kids are now teenagers.
For some reason, 
they don't think that all this is "fun" this year. 

Sure it's a bit of work,
but I pray that in all the hustle and bustle
they don't forget...

It's the season to remember  
and rejoice!

A Savior has been born!

Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle will remember your deeds; yes, remember your miracles of long ago.  For unto us a Savior is born.  Oh, how we rejoice!  I pray that our children remember the reason we celebrate, and go to all this energy and work, during the holidays.  It's all about you.  May they find joy in you, dear Jesus, and celebrating your birth.  Move their hearts to give of their time, energy and resources this season to bless others, and to reflect you to those around them.  Remind each of them, Lord, the joy of your living presence in their lives, and that you alone are who and why we celebrate this Christmas season.  Thank you, Lord, for the gift of your Son.
