Favorite 5 Friday: My Wants
One of my favorite pastimes is browsing Etsy. It's not only a wonderful way to find a fabulous gift or to get inspiration, but also to mingle with like-minded individuals.

For the past few weeks, in preparation for the holiday season, each Favorite 5 Friday has been featuring wonderful gift ideas from the handmade community with a different theme. This week I just wanted to feature what I would like to find under my Christmas tree.
I just bought a beautiful midnight blue blouse with ruffles cascading down the front. These earrings would go great with it.

In His Word Wednesday: Colossian 1:9-12; Part 5
We often drop to our knees with a petition to God. A lot of the times it's just to roll our burdens upon God. There is much more to prayer than a passionate plea for God to intervene. Paul often spoke intriguing prayers. We find one of them in Colossians 1:9-12:
(9)For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
(10)that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
(11)strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy;
(12)giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
In this prayer, Paul covers 7 areas of our lives that needs a daily touch of God. Over the next several weeks, I will discuss each area on my Wednesday "In His Word" post.
If we look at the last part of verse 10, we can see the 5th part we should be praying daily. We should be asking for more knowledge from our awesome, all-knowing God. Paul is praying that we should be "increasing in the knowledge of God." Notice the last words "of God," the knowledge is specific. When we have more knowledge of God, His will for our lives becomes clear.
Watch the video below, remembering the reason for the season. Wishing each of you a wonderfully blessed Christmas.

Holiday Laughter
It never fails that I spend the holidays laughing till my sides hurt. I have a wonderful family and friends that I enjoy spending time with. I just wanted to share a few pictures that I've taken over the last few weeks.
We always go to my sister, Tammy's, home for Thanksgiving. We spend the evening sharing what we're thankful for, eating delicous food (too much), and lots of laughing. We also take lots of pictures, usually with everybody having to get the shot with their own camera (very time consuming, but makes us laugh too). This year though, my camera got adjusted to the wrong setting and many of my pictures were too blurry to use.

Dinky was trying to give me doggie kisses.
Me and my guys.
I've always thought of myself as tall being 5'7" but I feel short when my son can prop his chin on my head. He's 6'4".
My son, Zach, decorated our tree for me. I had to let if relax out and after that I lost momentum.
Here's a picture of our tree with the flash off my camera.
Our church always participates in our towns Christmas parade. Here are a few of the kids gathering to get on the float.
Dinky is enjoying his and Toby's early Christmas present.
