Let me start by saying I BELIVE!! :) This week during lunch there was an ongoing debate about letting your children blieve, lying to them, never telling them about santa at all, tell them at what age, will they be betrayed, etc..... We had a great service in church today and I guess it confirmed my positon all week. As parents we can chose to raise our children as we want! It's called freedom and I am thankful for that. Weather or not your children believe in Santa or not, I believe as long as you teach your children to reflect God's love and giving spirit during this crazy Christmas season then you do what you do!! So thanks to a great ongoing lunch debate/conversation all week, an awesome service at Grace Church today, and a great Veggietales movie about St. Nicholas last night with Julian, I am happy to say "As for me .......I BELEVE" :)
I believe that God gave the biggest gift when baby Jesus was born.
I believe that God gave the biggest gift EVER when he GAVE his son to die on a cross for all of us to have salvation.
I believe that St. Nicholas was a more generous man than I could imagine and it is something that I admire.
I believe that any symbol that helps us to remember the importance or giving selflessly is ok in my book.
I believe that being excited about Christmas is ok as long as we remember the reason for the season.
I pray I can help Julian grow up in a way to have the generosity of St. Nicholas.. I pray he will always allow Christmas to remind him of God's greatest gift. I pray he is a reflection of God's love and goodness.
Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you have been good this year so Santa can stop by your house. Last year's picture:
