Since yesterday was Christmas I have attached a Christmas Story cartoon. It's about 45 minutes long and has a few short commercials, but it is cute. Of course at Christmas we focus on the birth of Christ, which is something to be excited about. But let's not forget the purpose of His birth...that is His death, buriel and resurrection, which is really something to be excited about!
Enjoy the show!

Just do you
I was at a pinning ceremony where the speaker was a 15 year
nursing veteran. During his speech he
spoke about times when there is nothing more you can do to help a patient and
that is when you “just do you.” In the
game of life there is so much I don’t know and little that I know. I know that…I don’t always have the right
answer; sometime I don’t even have an answer. I know that… I don’t know why things happen or
don’t happen. I know that… I don’t know
the mysteries of life or death. But what
I know is this… I can fix you a meal when you have a baby. I can encourage someone when they are
discouraged. I can lend an ear when you
need to talk. I can hold your hand when
you are frightened or lonely and I can give a hug when there are no words that
will help.
When you don't know what else to do- keep your bearings
in Christ and just do you.

Corinthians 9:19-23 (The Message)
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!
(Oh- I want to mention is was my sister's pinning and my mom who has been a nurse for many many years pinned her! I'm very proud of both of them.)
