Is there a God? If not, what are all the churches for? And who is Jesus' dad?

Today, my dog was acting very suspicious. She went upstairs and sat in the dark. I walked over to the couch and there I found it. A turd. My dog hadn't had an accident in a while, but after she did, she knew she had done something wrong and was hiding. Who says that animals can't feel emotion?

On this Christmas, we thank God for taking away all of the shame and regrets and mistakes that his son paid for. We thank Him for the eternity with Him that awaits us, the paradise we are so longing for on this earth.

I woke up today feeling thankful that I have a dog, that she is alive and well and healthy. I am thankful for my husband, for his health and mine. For our healthy bodies that will hopefully be able to play lots of pickleball this year. For my parents and in laws being alive and well, for our house that was not burned down this year, for our cars that are not in the shop. For living in Thousand Oaks which is full of nature and beauty and not much traffic. 

I'm thankful for not experiencing pain, for my bulging disc in my neck that is healing, for not having migraines or being sick, for having healthy, glowy skin for a long stretch for the first time in a year with very few break outs. For healthy hair and overall, peace in my life. 

I'm thankful for my business and for all the future has to hold for it in 2025.
