Like most people during the holidays, I find myself running from one place to the next, hurly-burly, without thought of the true spirit of the season. Gift for my sister? Check. Christmas party at the Jones's? Check. Stocking stuffers for the kids? Check. Turkey for Christmas dinner? Check.
But, where is Jesus in all of that running around? When do I take time for Him, to worship the coming of my Lord and Savior? Poor Jesus...he's always getting the short end of the stick, just like in that manger scene. He gets my left-overs.
Most people can relate to what I'm saying. The peace and calm of the holiday songs never seems to reach my doorstep, much of it from my own doing.
The Holiday Boutique is pleased to welcome Oklahoma Christian Authors Carol Round and Lorraine Holman, who will be bringing their wonderful books, perfect for gift-giving or to speak to your own heart.
Lorraine has written the book, "Trials: Thanks a Lot!" and also "Queen Lou's Thank You," a children's book about remembering to say "thank you" to the important people in your life.
Carol Round will also be in attendance with her children's books "Nana's Three Jars." You may remember that Carol was at the Holiday Boutique last year with her first book in the series, hot off the presses, about giving generously. This year, she's added two new titles to the series, one on spending wisely and the other on saving.
Stop by the Oklahoma Christian Authors booth to get a breath of fresh air and a reminder of the REAL reason for the season!
For tickets to the Holiday Boutique, please call Angela at (918) 637-4129.
And remember, we'll be at the RSU Centennial Center Thursday evening (November 12) for the VIP Shopping Event from 5 to 8 p.m.; Friday (November 13) from noon to 8 p.m.; and Saturday (November 14) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. See you there!
