This year Christmas falls on a Sunday. So today we had the opportunity to worship with our church family on Christmas. The service started out with Tyler, Grace and me lighting the advent candles. It was a cool time to share with them. Then we sang classic Christmas songs and lit our candles. This is something we normally do on Christmas Eve. However, since Christmas fell on a Sunday our church only had the Christmas morning service. The sermon today, was geared towards children. All children, 5th grade and under, went on stage as Pastor Dan shared with us about characters of the nativity from the Bible. We ended the service with communion and prayer. It was a great time with family and friends, worshipping out God.
As I reflect on this past year, it has been a very challenging year for sure. God has been working in our families life and challenging us to step out in faith and take the next step faithfully, not knowing any more than this step. As God continues to challenge our family I pray that we live each day for him. So many times it is easy to look down the road and anticipate what is coming. And in these times of anticipation, we sometimes miss what is happening right in front of us each day. My prayer is that we would not only look forward to what God has for us in the future, but also what he has for us today.
God Bless Everyone and Merry Christmas,
The Bush Family
