Christmas time is here again and I am so ready to see my family. The bible study from yesterday was about empty fluff and how packages at the mall were so pretty and all wrapped up but empty boxes. Then the gifts they got at home were not as pretty and in newspaper but had the toys that they wanted in them.
I am so glad that I am full of love and wrapped in newspaper versus being gorgeous on the outside and nothing on the inside. Reminds me of the scene in The Truth About Cats and Dogs where Uma Thurman has ordered a HUGE piece of chocolate cake and says to Jeanne Garafalo that she doesn't eat. She loves to order and loves menus but doesn't eat food because of the calories. That you are what you eat and that she eats nothing so that she can be pretty on the outside but then nothing on the inside. Do I eat all the stuff I know I am not supposed to because of this theory? Do I eat chocolate so I can be sweet? Do I eat potatoes so I can be fluffy?
In the last bible study we did (which i want to restart after Christmas) there was a phrase that stuck out You crave what you eat. So if you stop eating the stuff that makes you the way you are then you will crave the things that you are eating.
Once you are in worship with God you crave to learn more. Once you have changed your life to that of following Jesus you want more. Friday was so great spending time with all of our Life Group friends. I love going to our Life Group and talking about Jesus and Gods love with others. I hope when we move we can find a church family as great as the one we have here!
Thank you God for all of your blessings. Thank you for giving us the greatest gift of all with out all of the frills and nonsense to take away from the true gift of Love and Grace that is Your Son. I cherish the gift that has been given and want to know more about it. I crave for knowledge and love and grace. I crave to listen for Your word and follow where you lead me and my family. I love you son much! Amen
