Christmas can be a very lonely time for many people. I know in the past I have struggled with the feeling of being alone at that time of year, even though I have my two boys. This year I have decided to enjoy it, whatever my circumstances, because the children look forward to it so much.
In the past I have spent Christmas day alone and sent my boys to their father, because he had family around him and I wanted them to have a normal Christmas with lots of people that care about them around them. I would then spend the day alone, have a bath, eat good food, read a book , I actually enjoyed it, often I would start a book early on Christmas Eve and stay up until it was finished....my once a year luxury lol!
This year though, I want to think of others who are alone and will invite someone from my church who hasn't got family around them. It would be so good if lots of people did that, welcomed others into their home, share their family and food and fun and love.
Things are going to be different this year, and I am so very blessed.

Well, my son is definately on the up now after the surgery. He is walking further and staying up later and playing his guitar!!
He is also voluntarily getting into the bath lol! This is because it soothes his back. His scar on his back is from his neck to the bottom of his spine and is healing very well. He has another scar around his side that is 10 inches long, he says he will tell people he was bitten by a shark! lol.
I do wish he would eat more though, he is very thin and I do try to tempt him with anything he likes to eat, hopefully, he will be back to normal eating soon.
It was a pleasure to hear him playing his guitar alongside his friend; they had amps and guitars everywhere in my sitting room but I didn't care, it's just so good to see him doing normal things and even taking a walk to the shop for a bottle of coca cola lol.
Wow...I'm just so grateful that he is ok now, the relief is overwhelming sometimes.
They both fight lol...well there's a 5 year age gap and they wouldn't be normal kids if they didn't. But my youngest son is gradually realising that J cannot do as much as him at the moment and he is being kind and helpful, for the most part.
Well, that's it really, for now, just grateful for every day with my children, it puts life into perspective.
Thank you again to all who prayed for us, it helped me greatly to cope knowing that people cared. God is so good!!!

Thoughts on my life

I have been thinking about this a lot recently. I look back and see me, over the past few years, up until about 6 months ago, struggling with everything, particularly my relationship with God. I was on the wrong path for sure, thought I knew what was best for me and through that oh how I fell! I fell good and proper lol, I was hanging onto God by a thread.
What changed me? God changed me, He humbled me and brought me to my knees until there was nothing left of me, just Him in me.
That lesson was the most valuable one of my life, it taught me humility and how God can work in us from that place far better than when we are proud. When we have been humbled, we can give of ourselves to others much more effectively, we can empathise with others, have compassion and give love.
I have also met someone, who is very special to me, He has taught me so much, been patient with me, gracious when I wasn't always. In him, I see how I desire to be , a reflection of God in all that I do.
I still make a mess of things at times lol, I still falter but I pray about it, I ask for forgiveness and now truly believe that I am forgiven. The harsh words of others do not affect me like they did, I remain gracious and compassionate and if I do fail to do that, quickly realise and ask for forgiveness from the person and from God.
This way of living has to be the absolute best, to be close to God, to know that He loves me so very much, that His son died on a cross for me...little insignificant me, how truly amazing is that?
So, if you feel that you are heading in the wrong direction, or you're struggling with your faith, just remember we are imperfect beings, we are on a journey of discovery, we learn about ourselves every day. Don't be hard on yourself, turn to your Father, rest in Him, tell Him everything, He knows it already, He won't be shocked, there is nothing you have done that He hasn't seen before. You are worthy and God loves you.

I'm sad when people leave BC, it's lovely to get to know a person through their blog. I know I have left a few times, for all sorts of reasons, sometimes just for a little break, or when I have been ill.
I just wanted to wish all the people who have recently left God's blessings and hope that they find what they are looking for. Their blogs have helped me, encouraged me, particularly Eli and Pen and I so love their sense of humour.
goes into the corner for a little sulk now.............lol
