Christmas thoughts.....

Well it has been way to long again. I find myself thinking currently of the birth of Jesus as Christmas is only a few days away and the year that is almost gone again. Where is the time going? It seems to go by faster and faster.

I am saddened lately by the way my child behaves and the demands he makes. It is Christmas, a time to celebrate our Savior and birth of Gods only son just so he could die for ME! GREATFULNESS for this amazing gift should be at the top of things to talk about. Instead my child is greedy and whiny and demanding. He has become everything I swore he would not be. I wanted to raise a greatful child, one that I could hopefully provide things for but in turn knew to be thankful for all he had.

As things stand I am not happy with the way this year is ending. My child is a brat and I am the reason why! That is a lot to swallow. I have hope though however that it can change. I know I am the problem and that I need to change the things he can and can not do and the consequences for not following that. I can choose to change this path. It is all up to me and I am ready to.

I will be working on a list of things we will be accomplishing this year in the next week. One thing is volunteering as a family. My kids and I need to immerse ourselves in the places where people truly have nothing. We all, including myself are taking so much gro granted it is rediculous. I was mad for a couple months ago because my cell phone did not have all the internet bells and whistles I was used to...... HOW CHILDISH OF ME. Not all people even have a cell phone let alone one that can get on the internet. I am rich by a lot of peoples standards. I do not go shopping all the time and I dont have a new car, but I do have the means to go to the store and buy clothes when needed (most of the time) and I do have a car to go where I please when I please. I have a home to live in with heat and running water.

So I know I am a little bit early but this year my family and I will be working on GREATFULNESS!! I can no longer take the entilted attitudesm including my own.

I hope you all have a blessed Christmas and A Happy New Year!!
