Merry Christmas!

Just popping in for a moment to wish all of you a very blessed Christmas. We celebrated with Bob's mom Friday night as Bob has on call duties for the weekend. It is soon time for our Christmas Eve candlelight service and it looks as if he will miss it due to a family in need at the hospital. We are just glad we get him for Christmas Day and the 26th, giving us just enough time to pop down to my parents' house for Christmas dinner and an overnight. We will see one of my brothers and his wife and kids there.

Presents have been wrapped and tucked under the tree, the Christmas program at church is done, and the kids are packing their own bags for the trip to Grandma and Grandpa's. This is almost too easy...

Today my own little Christmas miracle occured. This probably doesn't seem like all that big a deal unless you have worked recruiting volunteers. I was working on my schedules for the next trimester of kids' ministry at church. We've really been praying for a few more teachers because our numbers are going up and I needed to be freed up to help where needed instead of having teaching duties in all three classes! So this morning I talked to a lady one of my faithful teachers had recommended as a possibility for our primary class and her response was that in her devotions this week she had sensed God telling her if someone asked her she was not to say no! Just like that God filled out the schedule for that class:). As small as that may seem, it was a huge Christmas miracle to me.

May miracles large and small mark your holiday season and this coming year.
