I'm a little late but I got home and hit the books, finals started and so did the Christmas season. My question is who's brilliant thought it was to have Fall Finals during the Christmas season! To much to keep track of in one short amount of time.
Anyway Thanksgiving was great!!!
What a wonderful weekend spent with family and friends, good food and birthday celebrations. I had a hard time deciding whether to jump all the way in with socializing and wanting to just watch everyone, which is a true struggle y'all. To keep from rambling on and on I want to share some moments with you guys that made Thanksgiving so wonderful for me.
Moment #1 - Friday night I was watching The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe with my little sisters and just before Aslan allowed the witch to kill him I paused the movie to explain to the girls what was going to take place and as I'm explaining Anna bursts into tears, full on crocodile tears and sobbing and she asks me why he is going to let her do that and if the movie was going to have a happy ending or not. Aslan (played by Liam Nissan) had only been properly introduced minutes earlier and she was already so in love with him that she didn't want him to die. This was a great learning moment for both of us I think. It offered Anna the visual learning tool to see in our limited storytelling capabilities what Christ did for us on the cross. And for me it reiterated the immense amount of reasons that I'm the one who deserved to fie on that cross yet Christ selfless redeemed my life and let the wickedness of my own sin take Him there.
Moment #2: I absolutely loved getting to spend time with my family. Nothing makes you appreciate the noisiness and the people that make up your family. The silliness, the extremely late nights (or really early mornings depending on how you look at it) the catching up.
Moment #3: Esther and I did lot's of coloring together. I love to color and so does she so it's something that we do together and on our own.
There were so many more but I waited too long to write about them. Merry Christmas!!!
