It’s cold here, and rainy. Yuck! I feel a little under-the-weather. Winter is in full force, which doesn’t help at all. I would love a hot and comforting bowl of homemade chicken soup. Don’t we all when the 10 day forecast shows cold, cold and more COLD? “Chicken soup has long been touted by grandmas everywhere as being ‘good for what ails you’”. [+] The only problem being when I (I think you’d agree) feel sluggish and tired, the last thing I feel like doing is to embarking on a cooking and cleaning adventure in the kitchen. So what to do? There is always the option of resorting to Cambell’s Chicken and Star, what your Mom always gave you. And you really cannot go wrong there, but I have a NEW option for you. I wish I had some right this very moment. Here it is right here, “A Spoonful of Comfort Chicken Soup“. “This soup is made and sent with love to warm your heart.” Send it to me a sick loved one, or even to yourself! Read the story behind the soup too, it is a touching story for sure!

How can we forget what Christmas is really about, after the word CHRISTmas gives it away. CHRIST. I am starting a new short, Christmas bible study next week, and I am really excited. The study, Advent Conspiracy, touches on four main points over a four week period: worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all. Above all, “It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus”, and that is how God intended it to be. Wouldn’t it be grand to breath life back into the true meaning of the Christmas season, instead of being left feeling void, stressed, and discontent. You too can join in on the world-changing event, and share or read stories of what other people around the world are doing to celebrate Jesus anew!
Do not fret, if you need help “Rethinking Christmas”, check out this site. I challenge you the think outside the box this year, make lots of memories, be crafty, DIY, volunteer somewhere, get involved with organizations, and remember to have FUN with it. I know what you are thinking, a post about Christmas…already? Yet, it is really just around the corner, believe it or not! Are you in? Have any creative ideas to share, I would love to hear?!
