Christmastime!

Christmas is in the air!  Today we are getting a very unusual early December snow.  And even for this summer loving girl, snow around Christmastime is just fun and magical.  Our house is decorated and cookies are baked.  We've been enjoying the holiday cheer...apart from this past week when the stomach bug decided to wreak havoc on a few of us.  but we're moving on and looking forward to healthy days ahead.  As I look at my calendar for the rest of the month, the days are full of activity and there doesn't seem to be much free time.  But it's my prayer that with each party, with each gathering shared with friends and family, we would never forget who we are celebrating and why we are celebrating.  I'm always overwhelmed when I think about the amazing gift of Jesus.  We are so blessed and undeserving to receive such a gift.  But how grateful I am for such a loving and gracious God.  For a God who gave the world his baby boy.  a baby boy that would grow and change eternity for all who believe in Him.  

My heart is full of such joy and gratitude.  

Wishing you that same joy as we celebrate the greatest gift we've ever been given!  
JESUS!!
