We expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long list of lost opportunities for kindliness, forgiveness, and compassion of the whole year. (David Grayson)

About Me
- Debbie C.
- If you're wondering where in the world did I get the title for my blog from, and if you noticed my "I Love Lucy" icon, and if you have any knowledge of the I Love Lucy content then you know that there would be times when Ricky would come home and Lucy was in some sort of dilemma and Ricky would be irked to his soul and look at her and say "Lucy, you've got some "splain'in" to do" , in his Cuban accent . Which translated means, "You've got some explaining to do." So my blog will deal with any and all things that I would like to explain and /or give my take on. The first and most important thing about me is that I am a Spirit-filled Christian and consider this to be my foundation and purpose for living. Next to that, I am joyfully serving as wife to my best friend and companion of 26 years and mom/homeschooling teacher to three of the most incredible young people you will ever meet. Our children are ages 23, 19 and 16 and they are jewels. I teach Spanish to adults and ESL (English as a Second Language) to people from other cultures. I love meeting new people and love being with friends and family. All in all, I feel very blessed!

You know, I used to get very uptight in crowds and hated Christmas shopping. Inevitable, people would bump into me over and over, and needless to say all that could go wrong usually did. I would be impatient with the cashier because I almost always got one that was super slow or something annoying.
a few years ago God touched my heart and helped me put aside my issues with crowds and all. I don't seem to get bumped any more. I try to do my best to cheer up the cashier. They have a hard job, especially during the holidays. I am finding that I can enjoy shopping now. Isn't it weird that when I had crowd issues annoying things would happen and now they don't? But you are so right, if we can LIVE out the Christ in Christmas more people would flock to the Lord and understand His love and grace.
