So I came home Saturday morning after being up at the church for a few hours to find our Christmas tree set up in our living room. What??!! Needless to say I was shocked. It was only November 6th people! I was actually a little ticked off at my husband for setting it up. It wasn’t the right time and it took up a lot of space. It was embarrassing to have it up this early. We have people at our ALL the time and they would see this thing up a month early!
Recently I have started a journey of pruning. What I mean by that is I am going through an intense biblestudy with a few other of my gal friends and God is literally turning me inside out to deal with some past issues in my life. This journey is really hard. It is emotionally draining, and the worst part is it can feel very lonely at times. It has been a really rough week and God has been doing a huge work in me.
Back to the Christmas tree. I had convinced my husband to move the Christmas tree to our other living room and we put it in the corner. Well, my hubby and I had a fight recently and I was feeling mad and hurt. In my self pity I was feeling alone and not supported. I know that never happens to you right? I was walking down my stairs this morning and I saw the huge Christmas tree in our living room. All this sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a huge way. He told me that the tree is there so I am reminded how much my husband and boys love me and that when I am on this journey and I feel alone to look at the Christmas tree in November in our living room and know that they love me and are a support to me. Hello! I started weeping. How amazing is it that the Lord had my boys put up our tree so early this year so I could be reminded that they love me and support me? I love our Christmas tree in our living room in November.
I was just trying to be a blessing…
