When we come into the Christmas season the first thing we ask is, "What do I want for Christmas?" The real meaning of Christmas starts here: Luke 2:5-7 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

If you see here:
"and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."

Jesus lowered himself from the highest position he could ever be, with his father in Heaven, down to earth in a stable to be born into a baby...a STABLE people. It more than likely did not smell nice or did not feel comfortable. Instead on focusing on what we want this Christmas, I challenge you to think of others and what you can do for them, putting your self lower than everyone else to try in the smallest way to be like Jesus! Just thought I would throw that out there for you. Love-Bailey

P.S. Please feel free to copy this post on your blog and share the challenge. Thank you

Camp fire laughs

First off...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! This time last year we were frantically packing for a trip to AFRICA...wow. It is hard to believe that it has already been a whole year, she is a completely different kid than she was when we first came home. I am so thankful for her and all she has done in our lives! Now...on Wednesday night we made a fire in the backyard, nothing caught on fire...thank goodness. Everyone knows that when you have a camp fire you have some great stories to go along with it(in this case 2). Soo here we go...

Story #1- The boys love to play with fire, so they would put large sticks into the fire and then run to the sand box and put it out. One time Jonathan put one on fire and ran to put it out, when he came back this is what he said, "I am going to do a magic trick...but don't worry I am not going to swallow the fire!" We all burst into laughing! On to the next story...

Story #2- We were talking about what we wanted for Christmas and my mom, being the smart, historical person she is said, "Do you know how Christmas started?" My brother William and I both exclaimed, "Here we go again!" Then Jonathan(have you noticed he is the odd one??) sang( yes, sang, we sing all of the time around our house)," Amazing grace, how sweet the sound." And then stopped, and we all laughed again.

Our family is clearly AWESOME, and strange, but you get used to it. Anyway...just thought you might need a good laugh this morning! ~Thanks for reading~Bailey~Psalm 56:3~

P.S. I will be doing a giveaway sometime next week...so stay tuned!

Its that time of year!

If you would like to order Christmas cards please comment on this post with your email to let me know! They are like a regular pack of cards, 6 for $10, and they will all be different designs! Thanks~Bailey~Psalm 56:3~

Girls Weekend

This weekend was sooo much fun, I mean when two best friends hang out for 24 hours, how can it not be fun??? Anyway, the weekend started off with me spending the night at Emily's house. We watched Ramona and Bezzus, (by the way, AMAZING movie), while eating home made pizza, then we played Just Dance on the Wii. After that we watched an hour of Sense and Sensibility, and went to bed, yes teenage girls get tired. After we woke up, the two of us made cinnamon rolls, and pig candy(that my friend is another story for later), while we ate we finished Sense and Sensibility! My mom called to see what time she should pick me up and surprised us by telling us that she was going to take all of us to the mall, Barnes and Noble, and Hobby Lobby...yippee! We had such a great time and we also went to this place called Feenys, it is frozen yogurt that you get yourself, and they have TONS of toppings to choose from. In all it was a great girls weekend with my bestie!!
