Well, finally made it thru the week of wild things. And yes, talking about kids. They were so ready to be out this week. I think this is the worse I have seen in all my years of teaching. I had to use my Santa Cam speech quite alot. See we have 2 boxes in the gym used for the alarm system (motion detectors). So I tell the students that these are Santa Cams and he can watch the whole gym because they are at opposite corners. Ever see a kid wave at a motion detector? or stare at it? Too funny!
But today I had to also use my "I believe" speech when asked if I believed in Santa. I told them "if you don't believe, you don't receive." It gets them thinkin as you can see the wheels turning. Then it got me thinking.... Isn't that so true with us and God. Now hang on, I am not talking material things here! I am talking about belief in Him. As I look at the world striving and running after things, I think about those that don't believe. And are not receiving. And it breaks my heart. No joy, peace, love, eternal life, hope......... this list can go on.
So as we move through this season, let's thank Him that we do believe, that He has shared His story with us! And then let's share it with others around us! And when we do...... we will receive!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
