'Tis the Season....

Christmas...What does it means? Why do we celebrate? Do we even understand the true meaning of this day? Does God/Jesus look down on our holiday fervor and smile? or is He saddened by the efforts we put into His season? Is He saddened cause He just wishes we would put this much energy into spreading His name thru out the nation? Do we as Rich Americans truly know what it even means to truly be a follower of Christ? or do we have life so easy that we don't even begin to comprehend the true meaning of Christmas?

Just a few thoughts that have been rumbling thru my tired brain the last couple weeks...Or months....I had a friend at Green Tech who was Mexican btw and sometimes i could not understand her the best and she couldn't always understand me...but we discussed the differences of what we believed about the bible, etc...she had studied JW's bible...and I was stumped by some of the questions she asked me...But one thing she said was that she doesn't do Christmas because it's just a big commercial rat race...Not in that many words but that's what she was meaning! I totally got why she was saying that...but at the same time i was at a loss to know exactly what to tell her about why we celebrate...

I have thought about it some and am still not totally sure about how i would explain it to her...but I celebrate Christmas because i'm remembering that God sent Jesus down to earth to save me from my sins...And I give people gifts because i enjoy it and Jesus gave His all...surely I can give some of what little I have to give?!

In all I love this season....The decor....the fun food (just wish I could take part in making some....).... the Music everywhere that i can sing along with....and just the general mood of most people...    I like the decor so much that i actually keep it up in to the new year! :-)

So I hope this year as you celebrate Christmas you truly find the real meaning of why we even have the Holiday in the  first place! Without Jesus, we wouldn't even have Christmas!


And now....I know this is like begging for something....but does anybody even read this? I'm curious? I would still write if nobody did because i like to write it down and this is a great what to keep it saved....I changed my blogspot name recently and just wondering if anybody can even find me...

I was planning to comment...before I got to the last paragraph...I was wondering why you can't participate in making the 'yummy' food? We would be grateful recipients if you get too much!! :-) :-)

ponderings...

Some times i wonder....why do i even blog? do ppl even read it? but then i wonder am i selfishly wanting ppl to notice? do they have to comment? I rarely comment on other's posts...so why should they comment on mine? I do try to comment all the time! but for some reason since my computer is so slow....the internet anyway...it tells me i'm not allowed to....so even if you don't see a comment from me know that i wanted to! and maybe that's everybody elses problem! the same one i have! their internet's being snotty! ha! ;) I love to read all the blogs i do read and wish like crazy that i could comment! so here a some comments i've thought about recently.... Amy...I loved your Christmas blog! and i know ya'll might get tired of me saying this...but it almost brought tears to my eyes...thinking as how we miss out on that kinda stuff here in South Carolina.....since everybody else...or a bunch of everybody else is way out there! But thanks for the pictures and all...

This wireless internet is really nice...i'm going to have to get use to my slow phone at home again in about a week...I am supposed to fly home next monday....if the weather isn't bad...the weather has been lovely! I have been enjoying the crispness of the northern air! I will have to learn to endure the muggy wet of the south...i did it last year to i'll survive again! School teaching is something I love! i forgot how much i loved it until about 3 weeks ago when i began teaching again as a substitute teacher here at Northwoods...It was a little strange at first being in a new school and stuff but i soon got used to it and am loving it! now to get enough sleep to be able to function properly! :-) I ...

i Think it's time...

To go on a trip! I was thinking that i needed to get out my suitcase to pack to go on the camping trip and all of a sudden realized how odd it felt to be getting it out....and thinking back to camping trips before how it didn't feel so odd to get packed up....well, i suppose that means i've been working too much and not going places anymore! ha ha! This summer i may get a few excursions in here and there...but not sure yet if i will or not.....i am going to LA for 10 days, but there are a few other places to go too..... i mean i need to put my suitcases to use right?! :-) it's definitely time! ha ha! in other news...this weekend is the end of school....graduation....etc! I have to milk this evening because one of the sons of the guy I milk for is graduating....and the mama usually milks and she wondered if i would for her...i get the next 3 days off...so i'm milking tonight...
