The Perfect Family Vacation

Have you ever been in one? Did a family vacation ever go the way you really planned it?

Me, neither!

We plan to go "here," we end up going "there." 

Planned a joyride; ended up staying at the house.

Ever heard of R&R; well, my version was Rest VS Recreation.

I'm not trying to sound like it was the Nightmare Vacation; all i'm saying is that it could've been better.

Which leads me back to my title...

It doesn't matter what happened, or what didn't happen; it was still the perfect vacation.

Why?  Take a wild guess.  Give up?  

I'll give you a clue: FAMILY

As long as our family is together, our next family vacation is always the Perfect Family Vacation!

Not about...

It's not about the food, presents, or even the Christmas tree, it's all about FAMILY!!!

Christmas "Special"

Last Sunday, we had our last service for 2012 at Quest. We called it our Quest Christmas Special.

It got me thinking... "What made it a Christmas 'special'?"

We did more songs than usual, then Ptr Les had a short talk.

Well, there was this one element we did....

After the talk, Ptr Les encouraged everyone to light a candle. This basically meant that if your light shone a little brighter this year, light a candle for everyone to see. And then we sang "Mighty to Save" during the candle-lighting.

I think THAT was what made this Christmas Special "special"!!!!

Christmas is about giving? Absolutely!

Don't need to waste a lot of words here...

"For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

============

PRICELESS!

Quality time with the most important person this Christmas - PRICELESS!!!

Christmas season can get so overwhelming - giving gifts, partying in parties, helping the helpless, etc.

WARNING!!!

Don't forget to spend quality time with the most important someone in your life.

They make all the "overwhelming", well, feel underwhelming ;)
