The List

via on Pinterest

Does anyone else still have a list of things to do before Friday Night that is a mile long?! I really do..

I have found myself praying for thankfulness today regardless of "the list". 

My family is so fortunate. My boys along with my whole entire family. 

I am praying for other single parents and the stress that the holiday brings with custody.

 Praying for families who I know are having financial troubles and don't know how to handle Christmas. Praying for friends who have recently lost jobs.

Praying for 2 families in our neighborhood alone who have had house fires this week, where their houses have burnt to the ground. 

Praying for all of the people who will be introduced to the love of Christ through Christmas Church services.. even if it is through a "non-traditional" message.. reaching is reaching. 

Praying for safe travels for everyone visiting loved ones. 

Praying for kind words among family, even though this time is stressful, we are so blessed to be together.

Praying for the JOY in this season and knowing I will miss it in just a few days when it's over!
