Davids' questions

I was on my way to the mall, to do some Christmas shopping and David was in the back seat talking away, like he usually does, and he was asking so many questions. He would see a sign and asked what it said, he wanted to know what the people were doing in their cars, why was there people at the store, on and on. Well he had one question that took me by surprise. He asked, "mommy, why did God make us?" I was surprised, because he had been asking all these questions that didn't make any sense, but then he asked that one. When I was younger I would ask myself the same question, and I didn't know the answer to it. Then when Mikey asked me, my answer was "He made you just for me!" But now when David asked I knew exactly what to say. I never knew the answer until about 4 years ago. I was reading my bible and I was blown away. Of course, I finally did tell Mikey why God made us, and I told David as well, I said Revelation 4:11 .... for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. He said, oh ok. And it stayed at that. I do believe that he understood what I said because he was so serious, and then he went back to asking more questions that didn't make any sense. The questions are still coming, and last night he asked me one that even I don't understand. He asked, "mommy, why are the babies in mommies tummies?"
Try to answer that one to a 4 year old!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas is coming! It's almost here. I love Christmas, but I can't stand all the hassle about it. It seems to be like this every year; trying to figure out what to buy everybody, will they like it?, will there be enough money? I didn't want it to be like that this year. I always try to do everything which leaves me burnt out. So this year, I have taken it easy. Only gifts for the kids in the family, which my husband came up with the majority of the gifts and that was really good. I didn't put up lights or decorate in anyway, only our tree, but that was done by the kids and my husband, (I watched.) And it just seems like it's going so much smoother now, I don't feel stressed, or hateful. I am looking forward to this Christmas holiday, but only because I am going to keep in mind what Christmas is really all about. It's about my Awesome God, sending his Only Begotten Son to be born, just to die for a pathetic, sinful, nobody like me. How I would seem to forget this all these past years, but not this year. I want it to be about Him, I mean this is the reason why we even have CHRISTmas to begin with right?
