Today I got a box of Christmas things from my sister and even though her treatment for cancer has caused her wrist to swell and hurt, she built me a Christmas tree from red, gold and white ornaments. She is very critical of her work and apologized that it wasn't "better" but did the best she could. One, I see no imperfections but even if I did, the beauty of her love because she wanted us to have a tree so bad made up for any minor mistake. Maybe I'm different but I tend to look for the beauty in the world, not the ugly. My sister is beautiful. I will use this for life as my tree, not because I have to have a Christmas tree but because of the love I feel in what she did. Oh, and the box was filled with things I could put in my forest. I have an angel on the wall above the star and she sent me a TRUMPET and musical notes.
If you are depressed, literally give it to God. Let it go. It's hard and it took me 4 long years to "get it," but once I did, it's GRACE. You can't live until you experience the fullness of Christ Jesus in your life. It literally felt like a damn burst in my chest. I also know I'll have bad days. I won't always be happy and joyful but now I see past the pain, to His glory, love and grace after the storm. It's just a moment in time. I planned on a full month, He saved me from 3 weeks of pain. Our God is an amazing and AWESOME God!
Be blessed and Merry Christmas. Keep in mind at all times the GREATEST GIFT EVER GIVEN happened on Calvary...SALVATION! Spread it everywhere in First Corinthians 15:1-11. Change the world!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
