What A Wonderful Christmas

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Merry Christmas! Over the Christmas weekend, we went to church, watched Andy Stanley's inspirational message Let there be Light and spent quality family time together. We played new games we got for Christmas, took the horses for walks, rode, I trotted Eddie around in the outdoor even though it was windy! Yay! We watched movies - Buck, Johnny English, Stark Trek, Percy Jackson and Did you Heart About the Morgans? Great movies! :-) Especially the first one. I could honestly watch that documentary over and over again. <3
So, it was a very merry Christmas and we are all so blessed. God loved us so much that He gave his only Son to deliver us from our sins and give us a hope and a future.
What an awesome God we serve!

Merry Christmas!

Random Christmas-y Pictures!

I know this isn't very horsey... But I just wanted to share these pics with you!

See, I LOVE Christmas. I can still remember looking out a window when I was five, watching the snow fall amongst the trees and going to church on Christmas Eve to 'Light the Night' with Christmas lights.

I bet I could really go overboard with Christmas lights too... Like those crazy people who have their whole lawns lit up! Icicle lights, little light-up snowmen, trains that actually go on tracks... You name it! lol!

I even thought that it would be cool to put some Christmas lights on Eddie. You know, battery powered ones. Or some blinking reindeer antlers! Hmm... might have to work on that!

Ah yes, nothing like reading a good book when it's cold out! An 800 page one to be in fact that I finished in 4 days. Oh... yeah.... ;-)

My evil little, bengal cat. MOCHA! She looks so sweet and innocent in this picture. Hmm... Think again.

Our Christmas tree that is 21 years old! Booyah! I bet we have the oldest fake Christmas tree for miles. But we love it! This is before ornaments, so sorry if it looks a little bare.

Well, that's all I wanted to show you! Now on to what Eddie & Diesel & Scout and I did today!

Psalm 95: 1-2
Oh come, let us sing to the LORD!
         Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
         Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

Time to Give Back

Well, I usually just post horsey things on this blog, but I couldn't resist sharing this!

Operation Christmas Child

You pack a shoe box, drop it off at a Drop off Location and then the shoe box gets sent to a child in need. Whether its Africa, Lithuania, South America... It's a great program that we're taking part of this year. We're sending two and I know some churches are doing thousands!


If you've been blessed this year, send a shoe box. Send two shoe boxes. God calls us to share the love of Christ to the poor and help those in need. Because God loves a cheerful giver!

1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
