I am joyful today. I am happy and mostly content with my life. This morning in Bible class we discussed the difference between contentment and thankfulness. A Christian should never feel content with where they stand with God. Chances are, if you are feeling like things are perfect, then you could be doing something that could stand to change. I am nowhere near perfect in my relationship with God, and that's something that I am working very hard to change. But, I am happy with my life here in this world. I have been given a wonderful husband and a roof over my head. My car gets me from point A to point B and USUALLY doesn't give me any grief in between! Kyle and I have both been blessed with great jobs that provide a paycheck that is just enough for what we need. We aren't starving. We aren't freezing. We have an awesome church that we have intentions of placing membership with. I am joyful today because of those things. It's the season that reminds us to be thankful for the things we have in life. While it is wonderful to have this reminder every year, we should be thankful for things such as these all year...every year! Please don't forget to be happy with what you have already. Things could always be worse. Take it upon yourself to think of others this Christmas season. You'll feel better about life!!!
Now, I'm switching gears.. I forced Kyle to take a few pictures with me for our first Christmas card! If you're on my Facebook, you've probably seen them already. These aren't all of them but they're a few of my favorites. Hope you like them!
