On Saturday night we loaded up the CD player and started putting up the Christmas decorations. The tree was the first. Belinda and I got the tree put together just fine. I plugged in all the lights and one of the preset strands of lights would not work. It took over an hour to get that strand off. Then there was a trip to Home Depot and a new line of lights was in place. However, we didn't argue one time and we worked together wonderfully! It was a Christmas miracle! You probably think I'm joking but I think we set a record this year for the fewest arguments putting up the Christmas decorations--none. It went really well :) We ran out of time on Saturday night.
So after the Creek@Night I finished getting most of the other decorations out. The various decorations bring back so many good memories of Christmas past. Belinda caught up on some work so it was back to the Christmas music, Third Day, Hillsongs, Vineyard Christmas, and Wow's double CD reminded me why I love the season. God's precious gift of love to us grows more meaningful to me every year.
These next two days Belinda and I are going on a retreat with 19 other Pastors and leaders from Olathe. We are going to pray, get to know each other and listen to what God would say to us as a people. What a great way to start the Christmas season. I don't know what kind of access I'll have to the Internet but I'm hoping to get a great connection to God.
