Slippery Path

Today I was reminded of what the term "black ice" means.

I had just turned off the Christmas lights on the outside of our house and jumped over to the walkway path that leads to our front door then...

I slipped!

My hand landed on one of Shami's fences that borders the walkway and it cut into my hand. I was lucky that was all that happened!

During the night a layer of freezing rain had coated our walkway, our driveway and all the roads. You could tell only if you looked at them from the angle that allowed the icy shine to stand out.

You know, if we are not careful we won't see the slippery path we jump on in our life's journey. And if we don't recognize it, it will lead to a dangerous encounter of your face meeting the ground!! Let's remember to watch our steps and the paths we choose to travel.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

Story Changer

I am amazed right now to think how Jesus impacted lives even before He could speak! As a 1 year old baby boy, He was able to transform a group of isolated shepherds into his first evangelists! After they met Jesus, they went and told everyone about Him!

I love that they did not keep all of that inside, just for themselves. Instead they wanted to help change others' lives, others' stories because their stories were changed!!

When we come in contact with Jesus, he has the power to change your story into something grander and more amazing than anything we have been a part of. Go tell others about the story of Jesus this Christmas and watch not only their stories change but yours as well!!

7 days to Christmas!! Enjoy telling the story!

Christmas Countdown

I missed posting something here on PD's Pages. I don't know how many people look on and read them and really don't care. This is just a great outlet to share my heart to anyone that wants to listen.

I love this time of year but because of the vacation to Las Vegas around Thanksgiving it feels like Christmas got here quicker than ever!!

At least we got our trees up, did all our shopping and even got the Christmas Lights on the house this year!! THE BEST PART OF THE YEAR THOUGH...

Is the countdown!! The journey to Christmas!! It's the best watching the girls change the dates on our various countdowns, eat the chocolate on their advent calendars and try to imagine what it is that is under the tree or what Santa is bringing them this year!

Enjoy the countdown to Christmas this year and remember that in life it is that journey that makes everything worth arriving to!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
