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)

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know ...

The longest route...

There is no easy way around it, sometimes I take the hardest possible route to get anywhere.   During our re-make of our house, I purchase bar stools.   Our counter island is tall and so I measured t – it was 36 inches from the ground.   Therefore I purchased 29 inch bar stools thinking they would be perfect…   And they would have been had I measured from the ground to the trim that lines the bottom of the 36”.   In reality, I had 29” to play with and the stools that I purchased were tight against the lip under the island.   I put one together and realized my folly.   Looking on-line, I didn’t find any more that were comparable to the price I had paid and the style that I wanted but were only 24” tall.   When my husband came home, we decided to put the other three stools together and just deal with them.   On Sunday morning, before church, my husband took the bar stools outside and proceeded to cut 5” off each leg to make us 24” bar stool...
