Friends and Family = Good times

First of all, can I just say that it's freezing here. I thought it was cold in Florida but I was wrong. It was 15 Degree's today, and a coat doesn't even keep you warm. But insanely, I love it! it finally feels like Christmas. This morning I went to my parents church b/c it was my nieces Christmas program. Her and her friend Katie sang a Christmas song by themselves, it was sweet. Then to my surprise, my dad preached the message this morning. He did a great job. He talked about how pretty our picture is of Christ's birth and honestly it really wasn't that way. Our King, Our Savior, Our Redeemer, The Chosen One, was born in a manger. A dirty, stinky place, and that's where He was born. Think about our president. He is treated top notch, first class, millions dollars spent on him for the best everything. Now think about our personal savior and how he came and how we remember and treat that gift he gave us. I am guilty of pushing it aside and watering down the awesomeness of it. My prayer would be that this season, His awesomeness is real to me, and He is in the forefront on my mind and my heart!...... So all that came from my dad, and I thought it was great!! Then I took any amazing Sunday nap. After that I hung out with my very best friend. We always have a great time together! So, so far this vacation has been great!!!
