If by somehow I missed telling you, this week was my birthday! I am one of those very obnoxious people to be around during my birth WEEK! I don't just want to celebrate my birth on the actual day, but the whole week!
On Tuesday, 10 of my girlfriends took me to dinner and then to see Newsong in concert! I was blessed by 45, yes 45, phone calls on Thursday, the actual date! I love my friends¡¡
Growing up, I always wanted a June birthday. Being born 7 days before Christmas, I always felt robbed of "my" day! Being so close to Christmas, people are busy and money is tight. I got a lot of Birthday and Christmas presents combined. Robbed, I am telling you, I was robbed!
This year, Jesus showed me why I was a December baby! I asked people to give me gloves, hats, scarfs and underwear instead of gifts so we could give each person in the park a Christmas present! Boy did Jesus shine through all of my friends! Every person in the park got a wrapped present, a bag of candy, a hot meal and lots of hugs today! I bought elf hats for everyone to wear today. It was awesome!
After we were done feeding, a handful of us went to the local coffee shot and hung out. It was fun to fellowship with those who serve and those who we serve! Ultimately, we all serve the Almighty One who came to earth to set each of us free. It is because of that little baby we have freedom! Thanks you Jesus!

God gave us three amazing Christmas gifts:
The forgiveness for everything we've ever done
A promise and power to live today and
The security of knowing our home in heaven is there for us when we die.
I wish each of you a beautiful day celebrating the birth of the One who made our salvation possible. And that is the ONLY gift we need. Peace.
