Christmas List

I find myself at a point where it is almost expected that we would write up a Christmas wish list. I really don't have anything that I would like for myself so I began to just try to find what would be of real value to me.

The first would be to have my relationship with Christ and my family be what it ought to be. This is one area that over the years I have struggled with. I find myself sometimes questioning if those relationships are right or if I am fooling myself. I know like everyone else I am not perfect but I also know that Christ died for my imperfections. Accepting this and applying it to my life makes my relationship with Him as it should be. My family situation is one that is not so uncommon these days. I am divorced and I have two kids. The part that makes this relationship a little different is that I still have a good working relationship with my ex-wife and we work together for the good of our children. The pride and joy of my life are the children and I feel as though we have a great relationship. I have truly been blessed in that area of my life.

The next area is that my family have a relationship with Christ. My children both know Christ and are living their lives the best they can to let that show. Once again I am surely a blessed man.

The only other thing that I really would like to have is a opportunity to minister to others. For the past six months I have had more opportunities than I could have ever imagine. Our church is on the move and there are new things opening up each and every day. This has been the biggest blessing I could ever hope for.

I guess my Christmas wish list is for new beginnings and those are already happening. I am more blessed than I could have ever believed for in the past. This makes it all easier for me to believe for great things in the future.

God bless and Merry Christmas
