"Unto us...

...a child is born." ((happy birthday, Jesus)).

Christmas come and gone already.

They say time passes faster and faster with every year.  I now know this to be true.

Christmas always makes me reflect on my family, on the blessings in my life.  Makes me realize how lucky I am.  I honestly and truly lack nothing.  Everything I need, I have.  Everything I want...well, thats always a different story.  But, as one of my favorite artists Gavin DeGraw so wisely sings, "What you want and what you need are never the same."

For example, I wanted the 29,970 cookies I ate today.  But I certainly did not need them.

In all seriousness, though...I've got to stop wishing, wishing, wishing for the things that I just want...and focus on and give thanks for the things that I have.  God has more than provided for me for the past 20 years.  Where's my faith?  It'll all work out.
