Have I mentioned I love Christmas? I just noticed I'm a bit behind on both reading the blogs I like to follow and on updating my dear friends. I've just been too busy enjoying the season. We had just a few friends over the past couple of days for dessert and I enjoyed seeing them - just visiting a little bit. (I especially enjoyed that new Coconut Almond Cake recipe I found. We'll have to see about sharing it sometime soon - someone needs to remind me of all the things I promised to share later.
I think I did mention before that I try to really savor the short season because it seems like such a long time before it gets here again. This morning I was reminded that I just love leading a small group of 2nd grade boys - there are eight of them. Lord knows there are moments when I don't love it (you can imagine - eight boys wound up about anything), but this morning as we were having our Christmas party I was absolutely struck by how spending time with them is one of the most important things I do. I was reminded that spending quality time with people probably should top that constant list I have going.
From there we went to service where Randy has been talking about idols. There I was struck with how so many good things can become our idols when our passion for them overwhelm us. The two thoughts together were perfectly complementary and just perfect for today. I am loving this Christmas season - I hope you are, too.
