Friends, Holidays, and Traditions

           What are your Traditions. For many of us it is what our parents did. Well in this house we usually go to a parents house. This year was different with my health and wife's school schedule we just didn't want to go any where. So with parents aging and they just too tired to do the big dinners and such we are doing our own thing. This year as many before we were light on the gifts. Members from the community stepped up and gave us a porch full of presents for the family and kids. We were blessed I was touched by the spirit of our Lord and I knelt on my knees with tears running down my face and gave thanks for the many blessings I have received this year.

           Christmas on the 25th of December is a tradition that was started about 600 A.D. and was taken from the Pagan's and Heathen's (it was a celebration of the son god's rising). For most christian it is a celebration of Christs birth. So we celebrate it as well, after the evolution of this holiday it has become a celebration of his birth. Even if the day is not accurate it is what is celebrated. I am okay with this as long as I teach my kids that this is just a remembrance of him, not an actual birth date. 

            I try to strive on teaching my kids a diversity of beliefs. That is my goal that my children will question and ask the Lord for their own revelation.. I love this time of year even with it as hard as it is for me. I love you all and please be kind and rewind
