home for the holidays



matt pearson

 i can't believe christmas is right around the corner. loving this short week. determined not to overlook thanksgiving. i'm anxiously awaiting the much needed upcoming holiday. already dreaming about how much food i'll eat. yesterday while leading my high school girls small group at church, i was reminded, by them, that at their age, you don't like 'thanksgiving food'. or that's the trend these days- to only eat junk food. gross. i'll be eating my plate as well as a plate in honour of the ones who refuse turkey and sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie this year. and am trying to figure out when in the last 5-8 years taste buds decided to immature rather than mature with age.  

today is blake's dear momma's birthday! happy happy birthday harriet!

i'm wishing it was as cool/cold outside as this picture appears. for those of you holding out on going to see harry potter...you have no idea what you're missing. and now that you have time over the holidays treat yourself to a great movie. :) 

during small group yesterday morning, we were encouraged to use our time wisely over the holidays. don't let Christ get the back burner. afterall, He is the only one we really have to thank for anything. So give thanks. And amidst all the eating and socializing this holiday season, give thanks to the one who gave it all, literally.

be blessed.
