In this week of Advent I have been intentionally looking for the wonder and awe of God's creation. And I do not know if it is me or if something has changed but I have never noticed so much color change in the scenery here in Pensacola. Ryan and I were noticing it again this morning as I took him to school. God is so awesome and all we have to do is stop and notice it all around us. So slow down and look around and you may be surprised with what you see.
Someone told me I need a better picture on my blog; I looked but just did not find one so in the spirit of the season I am posting a graphic of Mary and the Baby Jesus.
I will leave you with this question: how would Jesus have you celebrate his birth? Certainly not by buying gifts for each other but by giving so that the world may come to know of him. The average American family spends between $700 and $900 dollars on Christmas. I challenge you to join in the Advent Conspiracy and give that money to make a difference in Jesus name. 100% of AC offerings will be given to Living Water; they build and service wells in countries where the leading cause of death is no clean water. Knowing that we can no longer ask: when did we see you thirsty Lord and not give you something to drink?
