Growing Up

When babies are born they have to grow, 

Not just by age but through overwhelming life's cycles, 

Metamorphosis through stages and ages as they are growing up, 

There is no manual for growing up. 

Life's options are often confusing and young adults feel lost, 

They all require proper guidance from their parents, 

To be friendly yet firm in every word, 

To help them navigate this confusing world. 

One day you'll do things all by yourself, 

Trying to seize the moment while the moment seizes you, 

You'll have your own kids and go through stuff like your parents, 

And then you and your spouse will one day be grandparents. 

Growing Up 

Brand New Days

Another year is about to go, 

We now have little ones to grow, 

They'll live by what we've said,

They'll have a lot to hope for ahead,

The future is about to be more bright. 

Just Be

Be yourself everybody else is taken. 

Better than Santa

The Reason for the Season! What's Christmas is really about! Jesus is Way Better than Santa. 

Santa lives at the North Pole. 
JESUS is everywhere. 
Santa rides in a sleigh. 

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. 
Santa comes but once a year. 

JESUS is an ever present help. 
      

Santa fills your stockings with goodies. 
JESUS supplies all your needs. 
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited. 
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. 
       

You have to stand in line to see Santa. 

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. 
Santa lets you sit on his lap. 

JESUS lets you rest in His arms. 
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" 
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our names, He knows our addresses too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. 
       

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly. 
JESUS has a heart full of love. 

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO 
JESUS offers health, help and hope. 
Santa says "You better not cry" 
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you. 

Santa's little helpers make toys. JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. 

Santa may make you chuckle but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. 

While Santa puts gifts under your tree,  
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. 
It's obvious there is really no comparison. 
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. 
We need to put Christ back in Christmas. 
Jesus is still the reason for the season. 
Yes, Jesus is better, he is even better than Santa Claus!

I am who God says I am not the world. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. I am the head not the tail. I am above not beneath. I transform the atmosphere wherever I walk.

We are the product of our roots, 

Our lives are from what we're built upon, 

Our strength is defined by our backgrounds, 

Our fighting spirit is linked into what we were taught, 

Our gratitude encourages us to overflow.
