Tonight I went to a Christmas party for work. It was so much fun spending time with people, eating good food, laughing, sharing stories, getting to know one another and just fellowshipping.

As I sit here in my snuggly pajamas recapping the evening, I am struck with how blessed I am. I work in a Christian setting. I love being able to totally be my self, to talk freely about my faith because I am talking with people who share my love for the Lord. It's so comforting to know that we are praying for one another and encouraging one another in our faith.

I love that I went to a work Christmas party and we said grace before we ate. I love that I work for a church, in a church, of a church.

I am just so completely blessed. God is good and he has provided abundantly for me. Lord, I am so unworthy of your grace and blessings. You are mighty and wonderful. I love you.

This is my favorite time of year so naturally I could not wait to decorate. Hence, our tree being up well before Thanksgiving.
