The definition of the word "finished" in the 12lb.Webster's Children Dictionary sitting in my lap reads "to bring or come to an end"
good word..kinda. Sometimes. Like if you are :
- "finished" wrapping gifts (I have three more to wrap)
- "finished"baking..(I am !)
- "finished with the laundry (does it ever stop?)
- Celebrating the finish of a year...Happy New Year
There are lots of examples that I could think of...that are happy, silly, cheerful finishes, but then there are also some "finishes" that are not so cheerful, silly & happy. I have so many "situations" on my heart..for friends, family and acquaintances that are going through times where they feel like they are finished...or want to be finished, or don't know how to finish...or don't know if they want to finish...siutations, choices, things that seem out of control...and the human compassion part for those who are hurting & struggling is sometimes overwhelming. But we are supposed to have & show compassion, right? Just like alot of you, though, I wish that there was something that I could do to help, besides pray. Not that I want to "dis" praying, but I wish that I could physically and mentally help those who are struggling...hurting...confused...
I think I "sorta" figured it out last night. Well, kinda.
On Friday night, during a Dateline interview with our pastor, Rick Warren, I wrote down a quote he said. Then last night, at Church, Pastor Tom referred to the same quote and this morning, I give it to you...as a reminder ...
It reads
"You don't know GOD is all you need until GOD is all you got"
plain and simple.
We all know this..we just forget to remember things like this sometimes...and that is a little sad to admit/remember right now, as we are celebrating the birth of Jesus, duh!
We all need a little LOVE and a LOTTA God..(well, we need a lot of LOVE...but we need even more GOD)
hey..that sounds really good...
Gotta Lotta God....(new doodle in my head)
and if you don't have it, you should try it...it make things much better! so Getta Lotta God.
alright, I need to lighten up a little...last minute things to do today...wrap last three presents and clean the house. We head to my sisters tomorrow and wont be back till Christmas night and I like to leave the house in tip top shape...so that when we return..all is calm.
Here are a few of the things that I finished up yesterday...
and this stuff...
Now I remember WHY I only make it once a year...because I eat so much of it, it takes me that long to not be sick of it...because it is soooooo good...
Go finish your stuff....meet you back here tomorrow for a holiday cheer!
oh...P.S..the winner of the gingerbread stamp is Heather Wartenberg...and speaking of stamps...check out what I found people creating with my super cute snowman....wow!
p.s...going to doodle Gotta Lotta God....
