Taste is subjective. Taste is democratic. Taste is powerful. Taste -- the combination of texture, aroma, temperature, aesthetic and environment-- is also a window into someone else's life or culture. Be confident in your taste, but remain curious and expose yourself to new tastes. Allow your taste to constantly evolve and grow -- while keeping and cherishing the memories that taste creates.

Psalm 68:19
"Praise the Lord, who is our God and Savior. He daily bears our burdens." I read this before I feel asleep last night, and what a beautiful promise to rest (literally) on. After a super stressful day (or two) and way too much to do in the next 24 hours, this comforted me abundantly. While I don't consider my own stupidity (13 homemade gifts, seriously?!?!?) a big burden (as compared to suffering, persecution, poverty...) it's still what's burying me daily and taking away my joy from what this wonderful season represents. This God, that loved us so much, surrendered all His glory temporarily to come down and live among us, and bear our burdens. Stress, guilt, anger, judments, sin, death. To not be held down by all we were bound to is certainly a reason to rejoice. So as Christmas is now less than a week away (!), don't let all the burdens of your day weigh you down. Rest on the comforts of this promise from our wonderful God and Savior!
