so it is quite a cold day here on the homefront....quite cold! but i braved the wind and ice and headed out to pick up movies for the family. i could only find mapboy's 2 requests, but the hubby and princess still seemed quite pleased.
so the plan was to have some popcorn and watch christmas movies. i got the popcorn started - which by the way we are making it the old fashioned way these days and all enjoy it so much more. plus i can pop my large kettle and then have plenty for the kids to snack on for several days!
so anyways...mapboy got the movie all set up and i finished the popcorn. hubby poured drinks and cut up some summer sausage for himself. we were all prepped to watch santa claus is coming to town. i brought the popcorn out and noticed mapboy had his bible open and was searching through it. he was on the hunt for the story with the shepherds and couldn't find it in matthew. so i sent him to luke 2. as princess and i dug into the popcorn he told us to stop eating - he planned to read us the story of the shepherds and then pray before we ate.
so we sat and listened as sweet mapboy read the christmas story to us. i couldn't decide rather to laugh at the fact that we were blessing this popcorn feast while santa danced on the tv behind us, or to cry because my sweet boy wanted to read this to us and pray first. so after he finished he bowed his head and said a sweet prayer thanking God for baby Jesus and for sending Jesus to die on the cross for us.
then he said amen and the feast began and the movie was turned on and we all enjoyed a wonderful evening.....
these are the nights i treasure - the nights i feel like God has truly blessed me with an incredible family and kids that i know love Jesus and will live out God's incredible plans for them.
and now we sit on the couch watching what i tend to call the creepy version of little drummer boy...love the song, but the 70's movie is just creepy!
