Weekend Music Video! :)

The weekend is finally here.  Our gang has been fighting nasty colds and fevers this week.  Prayers are appreciated. :)  To celebrate the weekend, I have a fun music video to share with you.  The song is called, "To Love You Back."  It is from Jamie Grace's new album, "Ready to Fly."  You should check out the rest of her album when you get a chance.  I promise that you won't regret it.  Without further ado.....

I love the message in this song.  Christ loved us first and we have the chance to love Him back.  I love the part that says, "I get to know you more and more, and make every single day about You, I wanna live like I can't afford, to spend another second without You."

If we stopped focusing so much on ourselves and started focusing on Christ by making every single day about Him I think our lives would look a lot different.  I want to live like that.

 The last part of the song says: "So I answer the call, I give You my all, I lay it at Your feet, I can't praise You enough, but I promise to give You my love."

This weekend I want that to be my goal.  Who else is with me?  

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Love,

Meg

Happy Valentines Day!  Today may we remember that the King loves us dearly, more than anyone else.  May we glorify Him this Valentines Day and the rest of the year through all we say and do!

Winter Unity - It's the Little Things

 Glittery but fresh.  Sparkling, but quiet.  Luxurious, but soft.  The snow lays on the wet grass.  In several places you can see the pointy blades popping up through the sleek, slippery, snow.  Somehow there is silence outside on this icy evening.  To some people this picturesque scene is nothing out of the ordinary.  To others, every time snow falls it is like a taste of heaven.

Shivering people come into a warm house where they are joyfully welcomed.  The fire is glowing, hot chocolate is being served, and inside this house there is something unique.  Something that you don't find in the middle of summer, spring or fall.

Little children wake-up and peek out their frost covered windows to find snow falling from the sky.  "Maybe school will be closed and we can go outside and play!" they excitedly exclaim.  There is something different inside children that can't be found in any other season.

Could that something be unity?  A warm hug on a cold night.  Reading books around the fire together.  Lending a jumper chord to a friend who can't start their car.  Wrapping that sweet little baby in blankets and quilts until she is nice and toasty.  It's the little things.  Fresh snow, on a cold dark night.   People sharing together and being united.  Love is everywhere.

Warm winter wishes!

Merry Christmas (Late)

Okay, so I'm a week late on wishing you all a Merry Christmas but now is better than never so, Merry Christmas!  I wrote a poem and took a picture to share with you today.  The poem is about how we can still celebrate Christmas even after Christmas.  Without further ado…..

Christmas all Year 'Round!

ME!

Christmas is over, the stockings are down.

But we can remember the joy, and the sounds.

As you look at this candle, the flame so tall.

Remember Christ, who is Lord of all.

Our sins are forgiven because of him.

Now we can be born again.

He came to exchange our darkness with His light.

We can continue to thank him every day, every night.

Though Christmas is over and the tree is down.

We can remember Christ's love all year 'round.

Mornings

Ahh how I love slow mornings.  There is just something super sweet about them.  They say "Hello, it's a fresh new day!"  Devotions are a pleasure in the morning because I am more focused and awake and ready to start my day right.  Sometimes on a slow morning a cup of coffee is a wonderful treat.  However, there are mornings that are far from perfect.  (You know those mornings... I know you do)  Sometimes there is no time for a cup of coffee or I don't feel like devotions.  But on such mornings, I am missing the gift of a slow quiet morning where God whispers to me and says "This is a new day, a chance to start over."  Yes, sometimes life is too busy but we must learn to make time.  It's worth it.

Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

A Quick Post...

I realize that I haven't posted in a while but I am starting to work on some posts and designs.  An update is coming soon on what I've been doing since the last I've posted (IN JULY!?).  However, my blog is giving me grief.  A few months ago I customized another header but it won't fit the size of the header on my blog.  I think it has something to do with the HTML but I still haven't quite figured it out yet.  If any of you know how to fix this please let me know!  I would definitely appreciated it!!  Also, I tried to put a background on my blog since it was boring without the header but as you can see the top of it is white!  I would appreciated suggestions on how to fix this also. :)  Though I have neglected my blog for a while, I thought I would let you know that progress is in the works!  More posts coming soon... I PROMISE!  :)
