May the piece of a pie be with you

A great quote from Matthew- he has alot of good ones. Another of my favorite is a spinoff of the famous Lost quote- "If we can't live together, we're going to die alone." We were making salad and anyone who's been in this family knows its a big deal and all the kids hate it. So we were arguing over who cuts up what and who tears the lettuce and stuff, and Matthew goes, "Hey guys- if we can't make a salad together, we're going to eat alone." It was so funny! We all cracked up laughing and needless to say, we did not eat alone that night.

I was babysitting the McMahans today (my baby girl is walking!) and through a situation that we just went through, Mrs McMahan goes, "Well, I just can't wait to meet the man you're going to marry." I said, "Me too!" How true that is. This time of year makes it worse with all the songs on the radio going, "All I want for Christmas is you," and "Mistletoe!" I mean sheesh, I know I'm not the only single person out there who's like, "Where are you?" so why all the sentimental stuff? Can't they reserve it for married people only? Or be like "When you're married, you can listen to secular Christmas songs." It hurts. I'm going to have to temporairly break my radio from Thanksgiving to after New Years.

But as a wise person(I can't remember who, I think it was Douglas Wilson) said, "Christmas is our holiday. -meaning Christians" So grab it. Taste the fierce love of a holy God pursuing his bride. Hear the whispers of sacrifice, of undying commitment to a promise, and see the hope and wonder of the Triune God becoming a baby, a king, a lion of Judah.

"The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in Thee tonight."
