Reflections on Christmas at the Nitengales

I was sitting here sad, mad and very worn out from a long holiday weekend. Muttering under my breath that no one appreciated all I had done, that my kids were selfish and spoiled and that I was so glad is was over....when God knocked me in the head.

I read on Facebook that a friend from high school lost her precious daughter this morning - the day after Christmas - to a 4 year battle with cancer. My life could be so much worse!

Why do I let myself get into this funk every year at Christmas when I come off a great time of Thanksgiving in November? God is the greatest Father in the world and Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of HIS son....yet here I was being selfish and spoiled because I didn't feel appreciated - I wonder what God thinks of how I treat HIM (probably the same way I was feeling).

Help me Father to set my eyes on you each day and not my circumstances!!
