Christmas time

I love music in general and Christmas time brings out some good music we don't always hear.
My top 3 favorite Christmas songs
1. O Holy Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H4xtRY9V7I
2. Mary, did you know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifCWN5pJGIE
3. The First Noel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4iXatDeY7A

I love most Christmas songs but these are usually the ones that move me to tears or just bring up emotion. I'm not one to cry over things very often so if a song can move me to tears, that person was doing something right =]

I love Christmas partly because of the gifts because receiving gifts and giving gifts is my love language so I feel loved =] BUT also has me and most people thinking of the birth of Christ.

I remember when I was pregnant with Isaac around Christmas in 2010 I felt Christmas from a different perspective. Instead of just Christ in general I was relating to Mary and giving birth to a child, now she gave birth to a King. And just knowing some of the feelings she felt. And then Christmas 2011 I had a baby boy in my arms and she had given birth to a baby boy. I just felt so much closer to Mary and all she had went through to bring Jesus here. I can only imagine all she was feeling.

I think I wrote about this a few posts back around Christmas time and not imaging how she did it without her mother and so young and no doctors to help. Thankfully she was blessed with Joseph a caring husband who did all he could to make her comfortable.

In this life its hard enough being a parent and worrying if your raising your children right. I always tell people one of my favorite parts of becoming a parent is being pregnant. I didn't probably eat the best for them but they were protected in there and I felt like out of all my parenting so far that I did the best caring them inside. Once they are out you can screw up so much more lol
I know i'm not a bad parent but every parent makes mistakes and you worry it will effect your children forever.

On another note of Christmas I was thinking of angels. And I believe there are angels in our lives as regular people. And that one of their many purposes was to help some of us along the way in our lives. And that I've probably been or will be an angel to someone along the way.

I can't wait to return to heaven and see my life and see how I might have helped people. Hopefully I did more helping then hurting but we aren't perfect. And to maybe see my angels that at the time I might not have noticed were being an angel to me and my family.
Here's to being an angel to as many people as possible and seeing more good in my life video then bad =]

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

 I still can't believe it's almost Christmas, it doesn't always feel like it and that its almost 2016! A lot has happened since last New Years and I can honestly say towards the last half of the year I've become a better me.

I will dearly miss spending time with family, this will be the first Christmas were I am not with either side of the family. Thankfully I get to be with my own little family but am greatly missing extended family as Christmas gets closer. I hope they are all safe and enjoy Christmas and the New Year.
