Thanks Mom

My Mother left me a comment. You have to read it. Those words just made my day.

Our family has been through a lot of junk and stuff. Things do happen for a reason and God is in control of everything. Although there is heartache and you can cry yourself to sleep over it, joy comes in the morning. That is one of HIS promises. Sometimes you have to go through the junk and the stuff to get to the heart of happiness. You don't understand it while you are going through it, but it does get better. You know you don't want a repeat of the junk and stuff.
I learned to thank HIM for the junk and stuff, and it is not easy. He will restore your life to you many times over. He died for me and it was not pleasant for Him. I am sure it was not pleasant to watch. His Mother's heart was broken. If it were not for the sacrifice He gave, we would not know the His heart of happiness, His forgiveness, His love and so many things that He give us day to day.
Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me. Thank you for the sacrifice of your life to set me free. It makes my junk and stuff really small and I thank you for it. Look what has happened to my life because of it and You.

I read this after I commented on Mandi's blog. That's pretty cool -- He died for ME.

I love Christmas, I love Jesus and I love you.
