In light of recent events in the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary, I plan on celebrating the children this week. My grand daughter being the object of my overwhelming love and affection and the focus of my concentration this week.
Have you ever just sat and cried over a tragedy that you had no personal attachment to? I have done my fair share of crying and my heart aching for those innocent children and super hero teachers. So, I turn my attention to the ones I love and reach out to them a little harder and a little more passionately.
This photo was captured by a reporter in memory of the 20 little students and 6 teachers that were killed on 12-14-12. This will forever be in our hearts and minds as a Nation.
Much like all of America and even other nations, we share an overwhelming sense of loss and care for these victims and their families. So, let's turn our attention to the loved ones right beside us and our neighbors and people we can help, show them how deeply we love them and celebrate the season with Jesus as the reason!
With that in mind, I just feel the need to bake Christmas Cookies with my Grand daughter. She was super excited to make the Princess Sugar Cookies Saturday with me. Tonight we are celebrating by being serenaded by her 3 favorite Disney Princesses singing their favorite Christmas Carols. We have more cookies to make tomorrow night and lots of prayers to lift up to God as we give thanks to him for all of the wonderful things we have in our lives and show our appreciation to him as our Savior.
Our hearts are full of compassion and reaching out, it shouldn't be something we do only in times of need, we should practice this every day!
Look to the Lord for guidance, love with all your might and give of yourself to others!
It will bring you all the yummy things that life can give :)
Have a blessed Holiday Season with the ones you Love!
