Friday morning was spent enjoying fun and fellowship with my MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) group at our mentor mom's home in Colgate. She is the mother of 5 beautiful children and she still has the time to mentor us! Anyways, the kids played while we talked and ate some delicious food.
Friday night I participated in a Zumbathon at the YMCA to help raise money for their Strongkids campaign. Zumba is the big dance/aerobic craze going on right now. It is a great workout and a ton of fun. I shared some laughs with the girls who joined me that night.
Saturday morning Matt and Caleb and I went Christmas shopping while Casey joined his cousins for a party at their church to celebrate Jesus' birthday. We figured that he wouldn't tell Casey what we picked out for him!
Sunday was the children's Christmas program at church. Casey had a solo! Ok, it was more like a melt down. We learned that he has stage fright. We have it on video but I can't get it to upload.
Sunday evening my mom watched the boys and Matt and I joined my siblings for dinner and a show. My brother Andy, got us tickets to the Chris Tomlin Christmas concert. It was amazing! A great way to get you into the true spirit of Christmas. His guest speaker was a man named Louie Giglio who is an incredibly gifted communicator. One of the best parts of his message was when he spoke of the 12 words of Christmas, "a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord" Luke 2:11. We all know that Christmas is Jesus' birthday. But a lot of us forget that it was the day our SAVIOR was born...the best day in history. So this year as we are all shopping and baking cookies, let's take a moment to reflect on what Christmas is all about. Not just celebrating that Jesus was born, but that he was born to save you and me.
