Oh No, not again!

So last week I bemoaned missing the blog for a week and now I have gone and done it again. I am not amused!  The really funny thing is that you could pretty much read last weeks post this week and it would be 100% correct.  Another week of having our new son with us, another week of events most evenings, of a trip to China to work on dad's computer.  Yep, the same old stuff.  Once again I finished up things at the end of the week.

In the midst of a busy season, I reflect on my life and I experience joy.  God continues to teach me more and more about Himself and His Word.  He continues to give me a life full of people to love and serve.  He has surrounded me by people who love me and who I can love and care for.  He has given me a wonderful wife who is also growing in His grace and mercy and who loves to serve alongside me.  We are enjoying raising the three (right now four) wonderful children that God has currently entrusted to us.  Even when we have struggles or stresses, we are able to communicate and love our way through them and use the tough times to grow closer and increase our intimacy.  How could I not praise God for that?!?!

It is going to be another busy week with Christmas Eve service as well as the regular Sunday service and family coming in for the weekend.  Shopping to finish, house to clean, etc. etc.  My goal in the midst of all that must be accomplished this week is to keep my focus on Christ and enjoy the marvelous things that God has blessed me with!  I hope that you will find joy in your circumstances this week as you allow Christ to draw you to Himself.
