Our Christmas Eve was a bit of a flurry of activity. Well, actually, make that several flurries. First we spent some time figuring out exactly who we still needed to get a gift for. Make a list! Yay!
Next we continued with the wrapping phase. Actually that means Chris did the wrapping. I held the tape dispenser and applied the names tags - a vital job, to be sure. We got a hefty pile of gift wrapping accomplished. Still have some gifts to be found and subsequently wrapped as well. Gotta admit, I really wanted to go to Walmart and just walk around and watch people. There is usually quite a bit of franticism (that’s my made-up word of the day) with shoppers racing to find that one last elusive item on their list.
At four we went to the first of two worship services at Seaside. The second was at six. We went to both. I read one of my kids’ stories each time. It’s about a young carpenter’s apprentice in long-ago Bethlehem who finally gets a chance to make his first solo creation. But it turns out to be “only a manger.” You can possibly imagine where it went from there.
The services were both very well attended, and both had numerous visitors. Pastor Kel preached from John chapter one about Jesus being the Light of the World. Great times.
This morning we are headed into Texas to hang out with the LaMarque Vaughan’s for their Christmas morning. And the boys said they wanted me to be there to make sure the breakfast bread comes out good and juicy. Early morning.
Luke 2:11 says, Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.
Father, thanks for coming. Amen.
