It felt strange to take my time this morning – being there was no Sunday School! But I did get to see Grace and Max all dressed up. I know the other kids were there but I didn’t catch up with them.
Todd’s message this morning was the Wonder of Christmas. Taking notes was a bit tricky, because the bulletin was printed on black paper with white printing and holly. I wrote things down but am having trouble seeing what I wrote. But the bulletin is cool looking!
The WONDER is in what Jesus did for us. We have made ‘wonder’ a common word. Why did he come as a baby? That was Act One. The best is yet to come. Our Father goes to great length to see that we get Home. Live in the WONDER of what is yet to come!
So after lunch I decided to finally tackle the fudge. Since the bread did NOT turn out like anticipated, I was nervous about even trying. It took several hours of mixing, stirring, boiling, cooling and pouring, but the fudge DID come out! Hardened up nicely. I will take a little bit of it over to Kathy’s. This is Mom’s recipe and we grew up watching and helping and eating the yummy fudge! I have it in the pink bowl that she always put it in and sat it on the table. It’s very sweet so a little bite goes a long way!
Our special evening Christmas Eve service was so nice. Todd had the kids up on stage and gave them all a cookie, then showed a short nativity video told by kids. It was very cute. He had an adult message after that, then the candles were lit. We made a circle around the room and they turned off all the lights and sang Silent Night. It’s so much nicer than just sitting in our seats.
I am going to Kathy’s at 8pm so I’m going to close this out so I am ready to head over shortly. Happy Christmas Eve – Jump in bed and cover you head cause Santa Clause comes tonight!
