new tradition


thank you, jill, for introducing me to my newest christmas tradition....christmas gathering at battlecreek church!!!

last night i met 3 other ladies for a fun night of food, entertainment and free stuff!  

the church at battlecreek has this extravaganza for women to kick start the christmas season.  there is food everywhere (and women, too!) and then you go to their sanctuary for a program.  it was like watching a christmas talk show where they give you lots of ideas for christmas decorations, gifts, food, etc.  at the end of each segment the "elves" came out and gave us free stuff!  it was awesome!

free stuff!!
beaded casserole dish holders


after the free stuff, we had a short devotional.  the lady talked about mary and martha.  she made an interesting point that i have never really thought about before....while martha was so busy being busy, she missed out on precious time with christ.  what are we missing out on when we are too busy to spend time with our savior?  wow!  what a convicting thought!
