Magical CHRISTmas

Hi all!
I hope you had a magical Merry CHRISTmas.
We certainly did. :)

Andy & I really cut back on purchases this year.
This was how I summed up my feelings about it...
Jesus is the real CHRISTmas gift.
The gifts we give are more like the party favors.

This message was reinforced during our CHRISTmas Eve service.
The kids did their program, which was beautiful.
Then as the congregation was finishing communion I glanced back, only to see...
Santa Claus coming down the aisle!!!
With his hat in his hand, he knelt down at the altar, prayed and received communion.
WOW, nothing spoke the true meaning of CHRISTmas to me more than that visual.
All I could do was cry, it was breathtaking!

Yes, I'd say that together Jesus & Santa made our CHRISTmas magical. :)

That's all for now.
For some reason my internet is acting ugly.
Ugly as in I can open most websites except my blog.
To keep me from withdrawals I'm blogging on my Blackberry tonight.
Hopefully I'll be back soon, I have so much to share.
Just a hint: Santa Andy brought me a Cricut & I've been a busy girl!

God's blessings on your night friends, Sarah :D
