Happy Birthday Jesus, Merry Christmas Everyone Else

Every year for Christmas I gather my grandkids up and take their pictures. We have some pretty wild and crazy pictures that have been taken over the years.

Each photo session takes several pictures because you never know who is going to be looking away, have their tongue stuck out, or covering their face. Once the perfect picture is picked out the Christmas cards are ordered.

This picture was one that wasn't chosen because Jayleena's santa hat was covering her face. To me its cute but to her it wasn't.

No matter how hard we try to get the perfect picture its always going to have its flaws in it for someone. That's why Christ came as a babe in a manger and died a man on the cross. He did it to take care of our flaws and to let us know we are loved in spite of them.

This holiday belongs to Jesus. We need to remember that and not leave Him out. God included us in His plan of salvation now its up to us to make the choice to include Him in our lives. It doesn't matter if the date we've picked to celebrate is the exact date He was born, what is important is the celebration of Him and the invitation for Him to come into our hearts.

Merry Christmas everyone............. Happy Birthday Jesus. We love you!

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
