12.24.09- Day 217

Merry Christmas Eve!

Look who got a little too comfortable with our couches while we were in AR! Lots of snow
We got about 7 inches over the past 2 days.
My homemade chicken noodle soup (The big white-ish-yellow things are homemade noodles. They're not super pretty, but really yummy)

Well, I was somewhat productive this Christmas Eve... I got a haircut, went to workout, went to the grocery store, made chicken noodle soup, talked with my family, made goodies for Alan's ICU buddies, watched It's a Wonderful Life, spoke some to the Savior that entered the world as a child, and drank some candy cane peppermint tea. I'm off to the ICU in a few minutes to deliver the goodies.

Wonderful words, the Good News...
To Us a Child Is Born
"Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan- The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of the their oppressor. Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."
Isaiah 9:1-7
