I used to be one of those people who despised the holiday season.
It's become one of my favorite seasons throughout the last 2 or 3 years.
Somehow, it just makes all the problems in life seem not so big.
I focus on all the things that God has blessed me with, and I forget about all the junk in my life for awhile.
And, you have to admit.
Christmas music is just wonderful!!!
I'm listening to it right now.
No, it's NEVER too early to get into the Christmas spirit.
It also gives me an opportunity to spend time with family that I don't always get to see.
It's nice to catch up on life with them.
Going back to the blessings, that's the number one reason why I love this time of year.
I get so caught up with the crap going on in my life that I don't see all the fantastic things He's given me.
This month, I've been posting one status daily about something I'm thankful for.
I thought it was going to be really hard when I first started it.
But, it truly wasn't.
Everyday, I would finally open my eyes to the innumerable blessings I've been given.
His blessings are seriously as many as the stars in the heaven, as the grains of sand on the beach.
I have been given so much.
I just have a tendency to focus on the bad stuff in my life.
I feel like no one cares about me or the junk I'm going through.
I have a loving family, an amazing second family in the LHHS Power Band, and wonderful friends who support me through the roughest of seasons.
My hope for anyone reading this is that you see what has been shown to me.
That life is SOOOO much more than the trials we face on a daily basis.
I know it's so easy to get consumed by them.
I've gone down that road, and all it's given me is a lot of pain and heartache.
Even if things seem like they'll never get better, take one minute to think of the blessing in my life.
It's shown me that I take a lot of things for granted.
I have so much in life to be thankful for.
So, Happy Holidays, and may God bless you through this season!!! (=
