I am sorry, I guess I had a moment of political correctness come over me. What was I thinking? It must be the medication I am on. This holiday season has been a hard one for me. I have been battling bronchitis and a sinus infection that will not go away. I know, that is TMI (too much information). I won't even go into the new item in my medicine cabinet, the Neti Pot.
I am feeling better but am so sore from the constant coughing. I feel like I have been doing 10 minute abs for 4 days straight. I wonder why I don't have the 6 pack? I guess if you do the ab workout like I have, one gets the whole keg instead. At least that is what I am going with. I hope all of you are getting your final Christmas gifts purchased and wrapped. I am about to start. Yes, start. I know, I should have been doing this for a while now, but hey, it has been busy around the McMahan household.
Madison is in the middle of her basketball schedule at school, Cole and Katie just finished up football and cheer. They both received awards...Cole was Mr. Consistency given for the most consistent player on the team...it was very fitting for him. He played multiple positions and did them all consistently well. He even played running back in one game...mainly to block, but his only carry he got 8 yds. Katie was the Best Tumbler on her team. That girl is an aweome flipper!
I guess I am telling you all this is because during this time of year, I get nostalgic and very family focused as I look back on the year. I am so blessed that God has given me my wife, Shannon, and out children. They are all gifts from God. With the birth of Christ being the reason for season (sorry for the cliche'), I have reminisced about the birth of my children. In fact, just this morning, I was telling them the funny things they used to say when they were learning to talk. I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning but even moreso than opening a gift...I can't wait to see what God has for their lives. It is my job as a parent to teach them the fear of the Lord and to always be sensitive to what God wants them to do. It is not necessarily a lesson that is done in a classroom, it is a lesson that I have to live.
With that, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! Live your life without any question who is giving you direction. Here is a little card from the McMahan's.
