Christmas Traditions

-





 A friend asked me a couple weeks ago if I still wrote poems.Yes I do,although its been a VERY long time since I last posted one(I'll probably end up posting on tomorrow because I've been on a typing/texting/writing splurge lately).I was looking back at some of my posts today,and it made me very nostalgic.Then I got to thinking,I dont think I've ever posted A Christmas Post before today.Well,I'll have to fix that.So,here comes some Christmas traditions in my family we end up doing every year or close to

1.Every weekend is full with Christmas things to do

2.1st weekend in December is decorating the house for Christmas🏡🎄 and Christmas shopping(Although that's pretty much throughout December,or in my case,making it)

3. 2nd week is going to get a Christmas tree(We usually end up going to Esbys Christmas Tree Farm and picking one out.We listen to Christmas music on the way there and back.We end up with many fond memories and hilarious moments🤣

4.3rd week we usually end up having a bday party for me(Depending on whatever day its on).We have a Christmas program we end up attending and often times participating in.Its alot of fun.Its also a great salvation opportunity/message.We all dress up Christmas eve.

5.Christmas morning we get up early(every year is a competition between parents vs.kids of who gets up first.Every year there's a teasingly debate going on),read the Christmas story(sometimes on Christmas Eve),do stockings,eat breakfast,and open gifts.We then clean up wrapping paper(No,we don't save it for next year,haha),and in the afternoon company(relatives)drops in.They stay late and we all have a merry time together.

6.There is more traditions,but my thumbs have gone numb with all the texting/writing.So,I'll leave it there for now and maybe continue at a later date

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
