Christmas Around the Corner/Video

Christmas is just around the corner. Can you believe it... I don't have much ready and just working on a few things. But all in all, when Christmas comes this time , I may or may not be ready. But I do know that I am ready all year round to celebrate the birth of Christ. Are You???

Also, I put a video on here. I love this show and song. If you haven't gotten a chance to to listen to it or watch it, you should do it. It is such an awesome movie. But I warn you, you must have kleenex's nearby. When I listen to this song, I can only think about what it would be like to get ready to meet Jesus and the heartache of this boy and his family. Yet he has all this faith that Jesus will be waiting for his mom on the other side. Wow, what a movie...

But here is the video for it;

Back Online- After Much Fanfare

Well, I am back online. We have satellite internet and the dish went out of whack. They fixed it yesterday... YEAH... I was a bit bored with the whole thing of having to go to someone elses house to check my e-mail. But it is back...

Now to update on the happenins in the life of Sandie. We have alot of activities at church that is surrounding our Missions Conference. It looks like it will be interesting but time consuming.

My daughter Beckiah came over to the house on Sunday for dinner. We had Macaroni and Cheese and Ham in memory of my mother and father in law. It was thier anniversary on Monday. Or would have been. It was a nice day... Would have been better if Jessica, JJ and Jason was there. But we called them.

I also had tests yesterday at the hosptial. The Dr said I failed them. Man... I was never good at tests anyhow. But they called and said I have to re-test.. I'm not looking forward to that at all. I don't know what day that will be. Hopefully it will be a long time down the line.

But other then that, there isn't much going on. I am working on a Christmas project. I will be making Custome Made Christmas Gift Baskets. So if anyone is interested let me know. There will be a few businesses that will be offering them in thier store in Southern Utah and I will also be taking mail orders and delivering them via USPS. But I will post more details on that one when I am done. That should be in a week or two and I will post the website for ordering them.

Tonight I will post more in depth after I see what the day holds for us all here :)

Christmas Shoes

I was on a website the other night and they were listing thier pick of the worst Christmas songs. The worst being the song Christmas Shoes.
When I seen that they placed this as thier worst and the reason being is that it is sappy. I couldn't help but think about the idea that they missed the point of the song.
This song is all about the gift of giving and the reward of that gift changing the person that gave. This little boy's mom is dying and it's Christmas Eve. He wants to buy some special shoes for her so she looks pretty when she meets Jesus. He knows how important it was when she was younger and how a special pair of shoes would make her smile. This is a gift he wanted to give her. He goes to the store and the guy working thier tells him he doesn't have enough money to buy the shoes.
He is in tears and the man standing behind him see's whats going on and helps him out. Because of this gift the boy was able to give the shoes to his mom right before she passes away, but the greatest miracle was in the mans life. He was so busy with all the things around him, he lost track of his family and what is really important.
If anyone gets a chance to see this movie or hear the song. You should do that. It has a great message. It is a sad show, but in a very inspirational way. Anyone who doesn't like this song, misses the point of it and what the real message of Christ's death is all about. You can check out the song and music video at http://www.cbs.com/specials/christmas_shoes/band.shtml
I know you will enjoy it. Have a box of kleenex with you.
