C.J. singing "Santa Claus is coming to town"

So Beautiful!!!

He is healer, refuge, forgiver, strong tower, peace-giver, redeemer, joyful, mender of brokenness...He is the Light of the world, and He came to give you the life that you were meant to have since before time began

Christmas with Special Friends:)

Why Jesus is better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole…
Jesus is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh…
Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year…
Jesus is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies…
Jesus supplies all your needs.

Santa Comes down your chimney uninvit ed…
Jesus stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa…
Jesus is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap…
Jesus lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is, “Hi little boy or girl. What’s your name?”
Jesus knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly…
Jesus has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO, HO, HO…
Jesus offers health, hope and help.

Santa says, “You better not cry…”
Jesus says, “Cast all you cares on me for I care for you.”

Santa’s little helpers make toys…
Jesus makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle….
Jesus gives you joy that is your strength.

Santa puts gifts under your tree…
Jesus became our gift when he died on a tree.

Keep Christ in Christmas

C.J's Pre-School Christmas Party

Today was C.J.'s Christmas Party at School. It is the FIRST one he has had since being in Pre-School. I was such a proud Mom and I am sooooo looking forward to the many more that I will get to go to. My baby is growing up:)

C.J. got a letter from Santa

C.J. and I had a good time on Wednesday making Cookies for his Teachers, and some for us:) It was raining all day, so it was a great day to stay in and clean as well. Later that night, when I checked the mail, C.J. actually got a letter from Santa..aka, Mimi. He was so excited and could not wait to read it. We tried taking him to the mall tonight so that he could show the letter to Santa BUT he wold have none of Santa. I think those days are gone and I treasure those moments when he would go so willingly and jump into his arms..very sad for me!!

C.J. and his Teacher Ms. Reynolds

C.J. had a Birthday Party on Saturday and we ran into his Teacher , Ms. Reynolds. What a surprise! It was so good to see her, C.J. really does lover her and I feel very blessed that he has her this year.

Video about Friendship

This video that my sweet friend from Augusta, Shannon, sent me today really brought tears to my eye's. I have always been someone who loves VERY deeply and my friendships, rather they have been one's that I have had for 30 years or for the last 6 years that I have lived in Knoxville, they ALL have touched my life and made me who I am.

I pray that you have time to watch and maybe even share with the friends that mean the most to you:)

7 wonders of the world

A friend of mine e-mailed me today and asked me to send this to him again. I had e-mailed it to him months ago and found it in my "sent" box. It took me a while to go back and try and find it BUT I am so glad that it was still there. It really is beautiful and I hope you all enjoy it!

O Holy Night...so beautiful!

I got this video of of Angie Smith's blog. It is so beautiful and please remember to turn off my music before you watch:)

C.J.'s Parade at School

C.J. had his Christmas Parade at School on Thursday and it was so adorable. He happened to be the "Line Leader" for the day so he got to walk with his Teacher, Ms.Reynolds, through the hall way. There were so many Parents there that it was not easy to get pictures so I waited until it was over to get some more.
C.J. just loves his Teacher's and we are very blessed that he got Ms.Reynolds this year:)

Video of C.J.'s Parade

C.J. has his Christmas Parade at Schhol on Thursday. There were so many Parents that it was VERY hard to get a good shot BUT I did my best...don't miss him!
