one quick thought before Christmas morn...

we went to mckinley's Christmas concert at hopdale last sunday night.  it is always good to see all of those kids up there singing and performing.  it is also good to go back and see what kim and i would still call home...i started serving in youth ministry there...so, it is and prob will always will be home.  

anyway, as is normally the case, most of the kids were up there standing mostly still and singing. then there was this one little girl that kept dancing and spinning and moving and talking and...you know, acting up.  the teacher sitting on the front row with her was about to lose it, i was laughing at the whole thing.  there is always one...

then i got to thinking, isnt that the joy of Christmas.  just singing and dancing and spinning and moving and talking...  we try to get our kids to sit still, behave, be polite...  maybe we miss the point and that little girl gets it!

i hope our Christmas and yours is filled with JOY!  uncontrollable, spinning, singing, laughing, talking, crazy JOY!
