Waiting for my neighbor to come over and fix my plumbing......

NO seriously I am.....I know right...doesn't that sound sooo funny??  Well the night before me and Lexi were to leave last week to go to Colorado, my disposal clogged and caused major havoc in my life....With the help of Kelly and many texts, I took the plumbing underneath the sink apart,( oh and many Facebook friends chimed in to help as well) cleaned out the clogged disposal , but could NOT for the life of me put the plumbing back together before we left town,,,,,sooooooo I am waiting,,,literally for my neighbor to come fix my plumbing....OK so let's all get the laughter over with :)    and now on to a more serious note....
I just wanted to say a little something about being judgemental....I am saddened and disappointed when I feel like people are judging me...quite honestly I hate it....and I hate doing it...don't get me wrong, I am by no means perfect and have had my share of times where I can look my nose down at people...but I HATE when I do it and I try very very hard not to...but let's face it, we are all human and we ALL DO IT!!!!!!  No matter how hard you try, you do it...and not one of the ....what...3 people reading this hasn't done it....We are human...but it is not what God wants for us and from us!  As a Christian, I know better....I really do...as a human who sometimes doesn't want to listen to God,,,,I can't help myself....BUUUUUTTTTTTT, I get quickly reminded when someone is judging me how horrible it feels!!!!  NO I don't like when I feel someone is tipping their nose down at me,,,,and shame on them for shouting what a great Christian they are and then being just as judgmental as the next guy....so I would like to bring that thought into the Holidays....
As Christmas is approaching and we all make our plans for the Holidays,,,,let us please not forget what it is really all about....We are celebrating Christ's birth....We are NOT celebrating who has the nicest tree, or who gets the most presents....we are NOT celebrating whose house is decorated the best or who makes the most delicious holiday meal...and really, it ISN'T about family,,,,(Sorry mom) it is about celebrating something so wonderful that everything else fails in comparison...it is about Christ....and to be exclusionary(sp?) on this Holiday blows me out of the water...how can we not include out of town guests or non believers or non family members from our celebration and call ourselves Christians???  We should take every opportunity to INCLUDE them in our celebrations....invite out of town guests to our exclusive dinners and breakfasts...ask non family members who have nothing to do on Christmas Eve to celebrate with us....Isn't that what we do as Christians????  Shouldn't we include those who are left alone on this special day?? That is my question to everyone???   Ponder,,,,God bless and good night!!!!
