Hang the Meaning

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Whether or not you enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, you have to admit that there is something about the lights and decorations that spark some child-like excitement within most of us.

I have always loved decorating my home for Christmas.  When I was a child, I loved decorating the Christmas tree with my family and  pulled out the boxes of decorations with excitement.  Now, as an adult, I enjoy these same traditions with my own children.  However, recently, a specific and very common Christmas decoration has caught my eye.

Wreaths…beautiful and traditional decorations displayed by millions during the Christmas season.  But as I recently discovered, there is more to this common door accessory.  The circle of boughs represents everlasting life brought through Jesus and the circular shape represents God himself who has no beginning and no end.  What a great reminder as to what this season is all about!

PebbleStone Creek Preschool is selling Christmas wreaths as a fundraiser to build a playground with orders being due on Friday, November 26th.  If you are interested in helping us  by purchasing a wreath, please call (902)865-3814 or email psc@srfconnect.com.

Missing Out?

Monday, June 28th, 2010

BalloonsPebbleStone Creek Preschool celebrated the 2009-2010 school year-end on June 25th, and excitement was high among the children and family members who attended.

As the children finished a short presentation for their families, one of the preschool boys yelled to his mom in the audience that he needed to go to the washroom. She tried persuading him to hold it, but he could not, and off they went. We continued settling the rest of the preschool children on the stage for a story by Dr. Seuss: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Just as the story was about to be read, the little boy returned and climbed onto the stage. With such excitement, he announced, “I didn’t miss it! I didn’t miss the story!”

Do you ever feel you’re about to miss out on something? Finding a way to distribute my time between husband, children, church, and work is a full-time challenge. It can often feel impossible to meet all the demands without missing out on some special moments.

But even though all these areas are important, finding a balance is necessary. It’s so important to make time for those special moments, so one day, looking back, YOU can say with excitement, “I didn’t miss it!”
