Just a Vessel, an empty Vessel filled with the Holy Spirit. Blessed, free, child of the King.
Becoming a mom, Christmas has different significance. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time that I can celebrate the holiday through the eyes of my children. As Mary celebrated the birth of her son and the world celebrated the birth of a savior, we too enjoy as our children celebrate the excitement of this season.
Our son always says that we celebrate Christmas because Jesus got gifts from the wise men. :)
The simple snow scattered on the ground
Reminds us of the great love of our Savior
As the snow lay on the once frozen barren ground
Now is covered with warmth and soft glistening flakes.
The sun as it rises in the morning
Shines on the snow
Changing the tint of the snow
Hues of pink orange and back to white
All Gods miracles within one morning
Within a few moments- beauty appears
And so it is with our Heavenly Father
Though your day may be barren and cold
Though your heart may be soldered together
With nothing to break the bonds apart
Within a few moments, the love of our Father
From above, warms, pulls apart, makes the hues
Of our heart shine again
And we have a new life
A new hope
A new
You
Sometimes it’s hard to determine what the most important actions are to be. Deciding between God, family, work and other obligations. Yet, in the long term, I feel that if we look ahead, sometimes it’s easier to see the importance. It’s hard to let people down and it feels like a judge against your character, but as they say you can’t make everyone happy. Serving your family is a part of Gods plan, and sadly with our modern day culture, things have become so blurred with cultural roles and expectations to decide what is truly an obligation. For many women, they fight constantly with the battle between work and children. This isn’t naturally the case for many men, who often see themselves working, yet for women, it seems to be a battle. Now don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of women who work and do it well and are highly needed in our society… nurses doctors teachers and the like yet there is an inward battle of priorities with people constantly feeling like they are drowning in family life and work. For each family is different and they determine their course of action for themselves.
