What a precious day!

Sunday was a wonderful day!

A day to truly focus on our Savior!

Born to die for me, for you!

I have been filled, filled to overflowing with His sweetness.

It has been a full day, but oh so wonderful.

Our day started with our church cantata, Our Lord Emmanuel.

Reminding us that the babe in the manger was our Savior on the cross.  I also love watching some of our teens serve our Lord with their talents.  Gifts that can only come from God, that they are using to sing His praises with.

After the cantata H.O. and I went to our church's adult Christmas dinner.  The guest speaker was a missionary our church supports, he was a great speaker.

Then, to complete our day we, along with my niece and great niece, went to my moms church's cantata/drama!  Wow, another amazing service, 10,000 Hallelujahs!  Clearly presenting the gospel message, and a real conviction to tell others about the real meaning of Christmas!  Reminding us that when someone excepts Jesus gift of salvation the angels in heaven will sing, 10,000 Hallelujahs!  Praise God for His unspeakable gift!  Two cantata's in one day both exalting our Lord, but two different stories.

For God so loved the world (that's you and me) that He gave His only begotten Son(Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish (go to hell when they die) but have everlasting life (spend eternity in heaven)."  ~ John 3 :16  
What an absolutely, exciting promise from God!

It is always so much fun visiting my mom's church.  The church I was raised in, the church H.O. and I were married in.

The song director was my youth director growing up.  The lady who sang in our wedding still faithfully singing in the choir.  The lady playing the organ, played at our wedding, still playing the organ.  Many folks have come and gone in the past 21 years since I left that church and moved away when I got married, but so many are still there, still faithfully serving the Lord.  What a blessing it is to see their sweet faces.  Heaven will truly be a wonderful place, first and most importantly to worship at my Saviors feet, secondly to have an amazing reunion with many wonderful Christians!

Our day did not start so wonderfully, 3 out of our 4 children had, hmm...attitudes!!!  All three needed correction, one in tears~ the same one finally ready stating, I don't want to go to church, I don't want anyone to see me crying.  It was about that time that I realized this was going to truly be a great day, the services were going to be amazing.  You see anything that wonderful the devil did not want us participating in.  He was shooting fiery darts at our family, trying to stomp out our desire to be a part of this wonderful day.  He wants to destroy families, not have them worship together in church.  Just look how far our country is from God, as one by one He destroys families.  By the time we walked out the door tears were dry, a different child had apologized, we corrected our state of minds and oh what a beautiful day it was!!

Jesus is the reason for the season!
May I stay focused on that now and throughout the year!
May I share His love with others!

What a precious day Sunday was!
