I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Full of laughter, love, friends and loved ones. We had a great Thanksgiving. We were missing a few family members and of course the ones that are no longer with us, but we had a great time. I need a couple of days to rest from the week. It sure was a busy one. I guess everyone is busy this time of year.
It's finally December 1st and I actually went with a girlfriend of mine to Raleigh yesterday; in the rain I might add, to do a little Christmas shopping. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. People were really nice and wanting to help customers and such. Funny how the Christmas season will change some of our moods. Most people are happier around this time of year. I think its the gift of giving that helps us get in the mood.
Pastor was speaking on letting our light shine all year long this morning. He was referencing the lights at Christmas. Around here we put lights on anything that will stay still! But anyhow, the Pastor was right. God sent the Light into this dark world on Christmas so that we may be light also. We are to share our light with others. I always talk about having a purpose. People are born with a mission for their life. Some great that stand out for everyone to see and others are kind of behind the scenes. You know, the kind of serving and sharing your light that only God sees. I think, this is just me, but the "behind the scenes" serving is the most important. That's the one on one, really getting to know the needs of someone or ones.
There are some hurting people out in this ole world. Some may or may not show it. We all have our "ugly", as I like to call it, to go through. Coming from experience, its the ones that just sat and let me walk through that ugly to get to my purpose. Never judging, never condemning; just loving and praying. Folks, that is what matters. Loving on people while they are hurting and helping along the way. Knowing that I wasn't alone through those dark times was important to me. That's what I hope you all get out of this blog. Encouragement and laughter, with a dose of what Pastor called where we live this morning "Realville"
This world is hurt and hard to live in at times. Let's pray for each other, love one another, no judgement. God loves each and EVERY one of us.
So let you light shine, girlfriend and guyfriend! You never know who needs to see it.
Have a FaBulouS week😀
Blessings,
Dawn
