Getting ready for Santa

After family home evening we got ready for Santa! We got in our red pjs, took some pictures, I read Jonathan another Christmas story, talked to Jonathan about what he could give Jesus this year, and then I helped Jonathan write a letter to Santa, and put out cookies for Santa!

"Being There [is] an emotional and spiritual shift, of succumbing to Being Where You Are When You Are, and Being There as much as possible. Its about crouching on the floor and getting delirious over the praying mantis your son just caught instead of perusing a fax or filling the dishwasher while he is yelling for your attention and you distractedly say over your shoulder: 'Oh, honey, isn’t that a pretty bug.' It’s about being attuned enough to notice when your kid’s eyes shine so you can make your eyes shine back.” Iris Krasnow

Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more (see proverbs 3:11-12). He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain . . . Your Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son love you perfectly. They would not require you to experience a moment more of difficulty than is absolutely needed for your personal benefit or for that of those you love.

Sitting in the living area of our house feeding Sarah in the early morning. Jonathan had woken up too but was still in his back bedroom of the house. I sneezed and then I hear "Bless you" coming from Jonathan it made me laugh!
