To what?
…of course, to Christmas. Here it is Saturday morning, and I promised myself that I wouldn’t need to go to Waterford, the mall or any gathering of frantic Christmas shoppers today - but, who am I kidding. I’ll probably end up trampled to death on aisle 17 of the Super Wal-Mart…there’s nothing like the holiday spirit - it can be so festive!
…also, to our last service on Lake Underhill Road. I’m so ready for this one. It’s been a lot like attending your own wake and estate sale to be in the buildings while the new church is there cleaning out and remodeling. But still, I’m sure I’ll have a lump in my throat tomorrow morning as I try to sing. But the people will lift me up and remind me…they always do!
…to 24 people coming to Christmas dinner. I just hope our bathrooms aren’t in great demand. We have one completely gutted, and one where the toilet doesn’t work. Oh well, we do have the “powder room”…I hope that one doesn’t go down, or we’re all in trouble! On a side note, I love looking at a completely gutted bathroom! Oh the possibilities!!!
…to Christmas morning with little kids in the house. I love the morning. I love their excitement. I love all the wrapping paper everywhere. I love us all being together and…well, just all of it. I just hope it’s somewhat cold, because there will be a fire in the fireplace…more sappy Christmas music…and we’ll all drink eggnog! (Ethan calls it “eggnoggin” - I have no idea why).
…to the theater. It’s going to be awesome!
…to my new t-shirts getting here…I can’t wait!! It’s awesome to see people wearing “C3″shirts or “Barbaric Grace” shirts - the new ones are gonna be sweet!
…to having a break - next weekend. I’m gonna go somewhere where I can hear the ocean and just…be.
…to Christmas Eve. I still feel like I did when I was little on Christmas Eve. I can’t wait for every part of it. I’ll stay up way too late, and then get up way too early and cook 30 lbs. of turkey…but it’s all so wonderful, it’s worth the lack of sleep.
…to tomorrow.
…to the future.
…to the rest of the story.
Have a great one. Peace.
