Just Thinking

I wanted to share a positive note with you. I was early to pick up my daughter from a school activity and I decided to look around the school. I noticed a get to know the teacher page by each of the doors. They were interesting and I read about a dozen of them. I was really impressed! They asked for their favorite quote and their favorite book. The most common favorite book was, The Bible. Almost half of the quotes were either a scripture or had some refrence about God -Amazing. I have noticed that in every school choir performance there is a song with mention of God in it. We were singing a Christmas song at home and my daughter said that they sang it in music class - all about the birth of the Savior! I see churches everywhere busy with Christmas programs, choirs, Nativites and countless acts of service. I see children in my daughters school class doing a sub for Santa. I see children asking for less and being more excited about what they are giving. I see moms doing their best to teach the true spirit of Christmas. I see Linus (Charlie Brown), on TV, once again telling us what Christmas is all about. I see people smile, even in a recession, doing their best to put their faith in God. When I turn on the news or read some of the emails I get, you would think that the majority of people want to take God out of the schools and country, but my observasion is the opposite. I love to watch people all around me try to serve the Lord in their various churches. I think I've just decided to turn off the news and watch people. Watching the news can worry me - watching people uplifts me! I am so thankful for the goodness around me!
