A Santa Poem

So I don't have a Bible verse to go with this one...  yet- feel free to comment and leave yours that you think goes with this.  This is a poem that I wrote this Christmas and I thought that I would share.  Merry Christmas to you all - much love and peace to all of you!

The story of Saint Nicholas is one that’s fun to hear
We share it with our children and all those far and near.
Saint Nicholas was a real man that live very long ago
He gave to the sick and needy and those he didn’t know.
He gave with joy, and he gave with a great intent,
To share the love of Jesus everywhere he went.
I’m sure if Saint Nicholas could hear the current story
He would remind us all that it was done solely for God’s glory.
So when you see someone in need, lend a helping hand
And God’s love can make a difference all throughout the land.
And when we see a picture of the jolly old lad
And sing about him seeing us even when we are bad,
Lets remember one thing, that God sees us all the time
I pray Jesus is in your hearts as he is in mine.
We celebrate Christ’s birth on this special day,
A baby sent to earth, all our sins to pay.
The best gift that we can get the year from dear Saint Nicholas
Is to remember to share the love God so freely gave to us.
(Cat Miller 2011)

To Do or to Be - that is the question...

“Martha, Martha,” The Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed.   Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 41-2 Keeping up with caring for my kids, cleaning, cooking, volunteering, part time work, friendships, volunteering again, and doing special events with my kids, I race around trying to do everything for everyone.   I usually end up failing miserably.   It is inevitable that I will upset someone some time and make someone upset with me, usually about something small.   The devil is in the details.   Have you ever got so caught up in something you forgot to enjoy it?   You get caught up in parenting JUST right, so you forget to enjoy the fun and exciting moments.   You get caught up in rules and regulations or doing good works for the church and forget to enjoy what it is really all about.   Martha had Jesus over- HUGE DEAL!   Can you imagine havi...

The Easter Story with M&Ms

I am preparing for my oldest daughter's school party for Easter.  I was racking my brain trying to figure out a cheap, but awesome party favor to give to everyone.  One of the things that I love about her going to a Christian School is I can do things like this. I looked at all the Easter M&M Poems out there, and didn't really like them, they didn't flow quite right or, which may have bothered me more, they didn't go in the order they set out in the beginning of the poem.  We have a discount grocery store in town and they had large bags of M&Ms on sale for $1.80 so I bought a bunch and will be splitting them up and putting them with this poem that I made up instead.  It is definitely inspired by the Christmas one that is floating around out there and a few of the other Easter ones- so I can't take credit for the creativity of the M W 3 and E idea.... The TRUE Easter story isn't about a bunny - it is about a Salvation - about a Savior that died on the...

predictions...

We were all privileged to see the recent hype about the end of the world coming n May 21 st 2011.   The time came and passed without a rapture, without an earthquake, without a storm…   What were those people thinking and feeling?   This prediction made so many question Christianity and question God in general.   Now there were some good aspects of this prediction.   It got people thinking and talking about salvation and their eternal destiny… and, well, that is all I can think of.   Now lets look at what the non-Christian’s saw: a man, claiming to know the answer, claiming that he was right, who had a following, a way to spread his message and an amazing amount of money which usually makes you right in America.   If you were a non-Christian and you saw this guy talking and then May 21 st came and went, you would either think that Christianity was a crock, or that everything that the Bible says is a lie because his equation came from the Bible. ...
