Merry Christmas Eve & Christmas

Observations from Christmas Eve Service:

I noticed during John's Christmas reading to the kids that it wasn't just for the kids. Even though the children were picked to open the presents, you could look around and see the adults on the edge of their seat waiting to see what would be in the next box. This got me thinking about Kids and Christmas. Christmas is seen as a a holiday for children, parents sit around as children open presents, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a cartoon definitely for kids. But, in reality Christmas is for everyone children and adults as evidenced at the Christmas Eve service with adults sitting on the edge of their seats.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve

This morning was the Sunday School Christmas program. It is interesting to watch children on stage. They really don't care how they look up there. They can forget lines, be in the wrong spot, or whatever, yet they still smile and enjoy being up there. This makes me wonder, when does it all change, when do people become aware of being in front of people and the feeling of embarassment surface? Just some food for thought. I'll write more tomorrow.

Lots 'O Snow

You probably already know, but church was cancelled this Sunday do to the Sever Winter Storm. Isn't it funny how the news makes such a huge deal about Winter weather? Seriously? this is Michigan right, shouldn't we expect snow and the like. Eitherr way I hope you were able to spend time on the Lord's Day to thank God for his wonderful creation. I'm not sure about the church schedule with this postponement. See you at the Ebenezer Christmas party this Thursday!
