We had such a good time spending time with both families yesterday. It was a long day, but enjoyed it. We started the day at my Grandparents house with the Smith/Weeks crew to eat and the kids (also includes the men, lol) played football outside. Some of us stayed in and chatted. The house looked nice and the food was so good. We missed a couple that couldn't make it but you guys were in our thoughts. Later that evening we visited Chris' family at his parents. Its always nice b/c at least one of his out of town aunts (and their family) comes to visit! My mother in law had all her Christmas stuff up and if you know her, you know its a lot! So pretty! A loved it. He said she had "big Christmas." We ate and hung out before we headed home.
God has given us so much to be thankful for its hard to name them all. I am trying to be more thankful for even the little things that is easy to just "look over" sometimes! Each of us have different things we've been blessed with. I've said it before that some see others are "more blessed" but its not whats on the outside but the inside and what is according to your needs not wants! Nothing is ours with out God giving it first so give back to him not only in prayer, worship, etc but in tithe too!! Being a Christian means you do it all for His glory, not just what's comfortable to you. Its about sacrifice as he sacrificed His life for us. Give up a shopping spree or nights out and put that 10%(or whatever you choose) where it belongs... to God first! Just thought I'd throw that in there...
