Giving of Yourself

-

 Let's see....the last time I posted was probably last month.Wow.Time has flown by!Starting December 1st,I've been busy knitting scarves.By the time Christmas Eve rolls around,I'll probably have made 22 scarves.Its been a long haul,but I can't wait to see the happy faces on the people when they open the package.This year,it seems like we need the Christmas cheer more than ever,so dad suggested this year we listen to Christmas Music early(Which is something he never does.He always waits until Thanksgiving Day).For many people,its about getting the most gifts on Christmas day.Fof me and my family,is about giving them.I can't explain the joy you've just to see that 1 one person smile on Christmas morning.But it shouldn't have to be just on that morning.  We should give to those around us all the time.A surest mark of a Christian is joy.Make a list of all the people you could help this coming year(Almost like a resolution)and follow through with it.Touch someone's heart this Wonderful Holiday season,but don't just give gifts or things,give of yourself.

I met a few new friends this past month.They were really sweet.Heidi(Whom I've been writing to for like 5 years now),and her family are helping a family this holiday season.They are trying to get a new stove for this family who is without one.Please pray for them,that they'll be able to do it before Christmas Day.Heidi and her family don't really do gifts on Christmas morning,but instead like to celebrate it in other ways.I hope my dear friend Heidi has encouraged you this Blessed Christmas!Merry Christmas you'll +Happy New Year

Under the starry sky

 So,I've been a little short on posts lately,so I decided to take up the extra slack by writing a poem.Its called "Under the starry sky": No sun,I am teary Replaced by rain,I am weary The moon comes out to see me It's very dark and dreary A star comes out ever so slightly It's shining very brightly Because of the rain,because of the snow The star shines even more so It has no where else to go So it just shines,and shines,and shines Up in the big blue sky Declaring the work of its maker It hopes to serve its Saviour The silver star is just like me It represents what I hope to be The rain,the snow,and the wind suddenly stops And I can truly see All those stars gazing sweetly down at me All those who believe in Christ,will live eternally All those stars ever so brilliantly Are those in Christianity So shine,shine,shine So Jesus Christ can see!

My Grandma

Yesterday I attended a funeral.Not really sure how to put this,or if it'll come out right.I attended a persons funeral to which I was very close with.My grandmas.It was touching to see how many lives Mary Mathews touched.I look around the auditorium and see people hurting just as much as I am n know I'm not alone. We held an open house afterward and was so thankful for all the people who brought delicious desserts and snacks,so we wouldn't have to wait tables and clean up.Making the day even longer.We all had a good fellowship and spent some time with friends and family.As my grandma would say "LOVE ISNT MEANT TO STAY,LOVE ISNT LOVE UNTIL YOU GIVE IT AWAY" If you have not seen the funeral or couldn't make it here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs474BVBxAA6DOC4sjRFP-A

The Thank you Post

Dear Readers, Since I found out my grandma has cancer,it's been a tough road for all of us.In some way or another,it left a scar on our hearts.I'm so thankful that God is with us through these tough times.I've come to believe sometimes loving someone comes with a price.When you love someone,it hurts you to see them in pain.That is the price to loving somone,but loving them is worth the risk.I've learned time is precious,everyone has it,but no one can keep it.It's fleeting,one here moment,gone the next.Spending time with your loved ones is important to tying those heart strings.My family has been key to these tough times.Especially my parents.They've protected me,cared for me,gave godly advice,and helped me bear my burdens.God has been with me throughout this trip,and He'll still be with me looooooonnnnnnngggggg after.My church family has supported my grandma and took the time to be there for her.That's something I won't forget easily and will always
