Everything You Do, Do to the Glory of the One that Made You!

 Steven Curtis Chapman singing, 'You do Everything You Do to the Glory of the One that Made You'

It reminds me of Psalm 139:
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
  You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. 

God is sooo Goood! He Never Leaves Us or Forsakes Us! God's Gift to us is our Lives and What We Do with Our Lives is Our Gift Back to God!

Making a Difference in a child's life...

I had such a blast shopping for toys and other items for the 5 shoe boxes I am donating for kids in other countries throught Operation Christmas Child!
I found a Dora the Explora, Eyore, Santa Claus, and my favorite Classic Teddy Bears! As I shopped I kept thinking about what my grandson and I talked about as he went thru the Toys R Us Advertisement from Sunday's paper excitedly asking for every toy that caught his eye which was every other. I told him that Christmas was actually when we celebrate Jesus' birth and it's His Birthday, this is why we give gifts during this time! Reminded me of the same conversation I had with my firstborn, Marcella who the next day shared this with her friends at school. The next night was the Christmas Play at her school and a couple of Mother's came up to me and asked, "Do you know that your daughter is telling all the kids that Christmas is not about Santa Claus that it's really about Jesus' Birthday?" To which all I could do was smile...
