Merry Christmas

I am up before everyone else cleaning for our Christmas festivities today. It's raining in North Texas and are expecting SNOW this afternoon!!! My inner child is giddy with excitement and at the same time I'm a nervous wreck. Today I am reading Luke 2:1-13 during our Christmas Service. On a normal day I would be a little nervous  but to read for Christmas makes it worse. Not to mention having insane anxiety brought on by pregnancy.

JAG told me last night "next year say thank you for the offer but I'd like to pass." I can't - when I feel my life had lead me to share to word, how can I not read the word in my home church where I am comfortable. I mean if I can't do it there then how I am ever going to do it other places?

So, it will take a little prayer and one deep breath...I mean there is only one word where I will possible stumble...I hope just one.

Anyway, enough about me! Merry Christmas to You!!!

Today in the town of David a Saviorhas been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” ~Luke 2:11-14

And before I leave you here are some of my favorite pictures from Christmas past...my the redhead. My sister, Melinda, is the brunette. I'm celebrating today with my parents, so I'm a bit reminiscent...and hormonal. 

My sister...probably the Christmas before I was born.
