So, in the month of December I will post a gift that the Lord has given me. I hope that my post in December will be a blessing to me, my family and friends.



Day 7: The gift that the Lord gave me today was to handle stress.  Kennedy was not feeling well last night and she kept Channing and I up most of the night.  Channing was such a good husbad that he let me go sleep in the girls room and Kennedy stayed with him.  I can not beleive that I am not tired today.  The Lord helped me deal with a sick baby and having patience with all the craziness in the house today.  I am so thankful that she is feeling better today. 

 

For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. Hebrews 10:36

Day 7: The gift that the Lord gave me today was the joy of giving.  I have been convicted about helping children that are in need at Christmas.  So yesterday I received a face book message from the volunteer coordinator at the Lumbee Tribe Office of NC.  She was looking for people to help provide gifts to children of different ages.  My heart was full of joy to know that this is what I have been wanting to do and my heart was full of peace knowing that 4 little ones will have a good Christmas.  The Lord has blessed me and I want to share those blessings to others.
 

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  2 Corinthians 9:7

Day 6: The gift that the Lord gave me today was the cold breeze in the morning.  This morning it was very cold and it is a beauitful site to see ice on the cars and ground.  We do not get much snow so I know it is winter when it is below 30 degrees and ice has formed on the grass. 

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gensis 8:22

Day 5: The gift that the Lord gave me today was to listen.  I have a bad habiat not to listen all the time so I guess that is where my daughter gets it from.(Don't tell Channing I blame him for her hard head ability).

 

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; James 1:19

Day 4: The gift that the Lord gave me today was a smile on Kennedy's face.  Today we went to Bass Pro Shop and Kennedy loved seeing Santa (ho-ho).  This was the first time that she has not been afraid of Santa.  After she took her photo with Santa she said "mommy I took my picture with Santa".  She was so excited to see him and to let him knowshe wanted playdoh and a jump rope.  Oh how sweet that she wanted just two little items.  Channing and I want to share the Christmas story with the girls this year, so every Sunday night we will tell them the true blessing of Christmas.   
 
Also on a side note my mother in law got a Elf on the Shelf and it is a cute idea but we will tell Kennedy the true meaning of Christmas.

Day 3: The gift that the Lord gave me today was a nap and a time to rest.  Today was very crazy and it felt like I was in a fog.  First Brooklyn had her 15 month check up and that included those bad shots (4 shots).  Then  I was suppose to meet a friend for lunch and a play date but I totally forgot (I am sorry Synora).  Then this evening my busy life caught up with me so I  laid down and took a 2 hour nap (that is not the norm).  So now we are in the process of going to a Christmas retreat. 

A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to rest, Proverbs 6:10

Day 2: The gift that the Lord gave me today is to move past my devastation and return to obedience. Since the death of my mother in 1998 I have felt devastated at why I lost my mother at such a young age. I did not have my mother at my college graduation, wedding, and the births of my girls. Over the years I felt that God did not know what I was going through. This morning I was reading Psalms 30:1-12 and it pricked my heart to be obedient to God and give him all the glory for the season of life I have been through. I want to surrender all my frustration and honor his glory that he has given me. Jesus truly loves me!!!!  Reading my bible lesson for today with Beth Moore and she quotes it so well:

"Jesus has a hope and a future for me that nothing in my past or present can nullify.”



To conclude Deliverance as it is written in Psalms 30

Psalm 30

1I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
