i would like to apologize for my last blog. i think i could have offended a lot of people and may have even seemed like a scrooge. so i would like to say sorry.
i wanted to explain where and how that all came about.
a couple weeks ago, kids came over to play with A... they asked about the christmas tree and the presents under it. i tried to explain it and somehow put the story of Christ in it, but i really couldn't. i saw no correlation. later a friend said that next time they ask i could explain how Christ was a gift to us and that's why we give presents to each other. okay... i was satisfied with that answer to give them, but it wasn't enough for me.
i feel like my heart is like going through what cindy lou was going through in the grinch who stole christmas. what does it really mean? it represents Christ's birthday, but actually that's not how it started. it was a very secular day. anyway... in all this process and me personally getting a little stressed with the shopping, with the little time i have, and honestly a little frustrated with trying to figure out what the center of christmas really is in MY HEART, i wrote that post.
i hope that no one was offended and if you were, i'm sorry or thought i was trying to push something... i don't know what i want to push for myself now anyway... again just keep thinking about where my heart is in this.
thanks...
