Day 30 of Thankful...

Can you believe it's the last day of November! You know what that means? An end to our everyday thankful post. I have enjoyed reading all the the thankful post. We all have so much to be thankful for ... not just in November, but all year long. We have taken time to have an extra thankful heart in November and now we are going to enter into December praising the King of Kings. I am thankful for the Christmas season. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! That's right, my 30th thankful post is being thankful for CHRISTmas. Or as my husband so wonderfully described it the other night.... CHRIST - Man's Almighty Savior!

Psalm 100:4- Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

~Merry Christmas~

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I can't believe it is here already. I love this time of year. We even have snow on the ground! We actually had about 2 feet of snow, so that means snow for Christmas! We made a giant snowman. My hubby was the master mind behind the snow giant. It is the biggest snowman I have ever seen, so I had to include a picture. I love the snow. A fresh fallen snow represents purity to me. It covers everything. Just like the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all of our sins.

I want to share a very well know verse with you. Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas. It may not be the exact day he was born, but it is the day we set aside to remember that God loved us so much he sent us Jesus, his only begotten son. "For unto us a child is born..." Don't forget to celebrate Jesus!

JOHN 3:16

For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

I also have to include some of the conversation Thomas and I had tonight. He had a bad dream a few nights back. So, the night after the bad dream when we said our bedtime prayers we prayed that Jesus would not let him have bad dreams. When I tucked him in tonight he told me he didn't want me to have bad dreams. I told him I wouldn't and I asked him if he had anymore bad dreams since we asked Jesus to take them away. He said so sweetly, "I not have bad dreams. Now Jesus has bad dreams." My first thought was he is only 3, he just doesn't understand and I was getting ready to try to explain, but then it hit me like a ton of bricks and I almost cried. Of course, Jesus isn't 'having' bad dreams, but he does have them. He took it, so therefore, he has it. I hope this makes sense. You see he bore all of our infirmities, all of our sins, our sickness, our weakness, our mind battles, our bad dreams. He took it all as his own. You name it, he paid the ultimate price for it. So when we ask him to take it, he does.
