Day 66: Christmas Eve Service

Hi again,
This post is for yesterday and I was thankful for the Christmas Eve Service. This year we went to another church and we didn't feel it was the best service we have been to but it was nice none the less. I am thankful for the Christmas Eve service because it reminds us exactly why we celebrate Christmas and it always makes it feel so much more like Christmas after the service. This church didn't have the candle light part where all the lights are turned off and we sing by candle light and I love that part. It's always amazing to me how candles are never accidentally dropped and there are no incidents while dealing with so many candles. But it is really quite beautiful with all the candles creating this soft glow in the room while singing Christmas songs. I think that is partly why we didn't like the service so much last night because my family and I enjoy that part. But it was nice to go and the message was good and we were reminded of and brought back to the reason for Christmas which can sometimes get lost among everything else going on. We get sidetracked by preperations and gifts and stress and it is good to be reminded that it isn't about all that and it is about Jesus' birth.
As for how I am doing, for some reason I was having a rough day and I am not sure why because usually Christmas Eve is fun. But to get through it, I used the day to reflect on all the blessings in my life from the ones I have posted on here to others that I have not yet posted. I really wonder sometimes if anyone actually reads this or not but I reminded myself that the first purpose of this isn't other people but to help me see the blessings in my life more and to be more positive. The second purpose of posting on this blog is to hopefully help other people to count the blessings in their own life and to see how blessed we all are even when so much bad stuff is going on. But if that doesn't happen it won't stop me from attempting to fulfill the first reason that I do this. Thanks to anyone who reads my posts each day and Merry Christmas!
