'Tis the season

I've been feeling a bit of (pre-transformation) Ebeneezer Scrooge this Christmas season. Tight fisted. Grumpy. Hoping that others will let the day pass without me. And then there are moments that make my heart aglow...
watching my 16 month old son mesmerized by the Christmas lights.
receiving a sweet homemade goodie from one of my students.
hearing Andy Stanley's "Footnote" message.
listening to an incredible medley of music from the NPCC band.
And I remember. Despite the worries and the fears of the unknown future,
God is good.
He's in control.
He has a plan.
He loves me.
The season is about HIM and his active pursuit of our redemption.
Praise God!
