Christmas and Christ

I got to be Santa the other day at my wifes daycare. I didn't want to but my father was working and the task fell to me. My wifes kids have a party each year and the parents come over with their kids, we eat pizza and hand out gifts to the kids.
Enter Santa, i walked in the door and one of the little ones Nathan was looking at me with eyes of wonderment and joy. You could see it in his eyes he was glad I (Santa) was there. He just stared at me never taking his eyes off of Santa. I walked in sat down and the children came to me one at a time. Each took his turn, each was caught up in the moment of Santa. In that moment at the front door with Nathan seeing how he saw me I no longer didn't want to be there. It was wonderful for him and in that moment I saw what that time meant for him and all my anxiety of being Santa infront of all these people went away, I was in the moment so to say and am glad I did this.
Think of this one day Jesus will come back, he will appear to us and we will be with Him. We will sit with him and tell him all our cares. He will wipe away our tears of pain and all will be made right. The world will be at peace. I can't wait to see Christ and be with Him as he sets me down and makes all things right. I will be so very nice to have all the heartache wiped away from a life that was affected by drugs and alcohol and a hard family life as a young boy. I grew up the victim of sin. My family drank alot did drugs and the domestic arguments from that left alot of deep scars. On that day when Christ returns it will be like Christmas for me. I will look up at Christ in amazement just like that little boy Nate and I can't wait till I see Christ, on that day it will truly be Christmas for me...
God bless all yall

Don't forget to live

I think we as Christians don't allow ourselves to enjoy life. We tend to hold ourselves down so tight we can't breath. We forget that God made us to enjoy life, thats why we have laughter. We should be extremely happy about the good things we get out of life, thats why we have tears of joy. I know that the closer I get to God on a personal level things tend to make more sense to me. I feel better about things in general. I have more hope for today and my future seems like it will be ok. God made us to be his children. We are the kids that will never leave home, He is always there for us to help us live through life. Things do get difficult at times but he is always faithful. You may get some bumps and bruises but he can't do it all for you or else you or I wouldn't learn anything and when trials and tribualtion came we wouldn't know what to do. It's kinda like riding a bike, at first you will fall but eventually get it and then it will be second nature. Eventually you will be in a life of peace and living the life that Christ wanted for you all along. The picture is the last motorcycle I had, I really enjoyed it. I sold it and now have another that I am building myself. It is a joy the Lord gave me. Gad bless all yall, Garwayne
