Today was just a really good day. The packages are wrapped and under the tree and the house was straightened up. Christmas music played on the radio. The tree is lit up and lights are all around the living room. Today, everyone was home, just trying to keep the last secret, wrap the last package, making sure the special foods are in the house for baking, and calling family to make sure they are ready to come for the holidays. Tonight, we went out and saw Christmas lights in Hampton and stopped at Krispy Kreme for donuts. We talked to Sindi about gifts and Tom about leaving tomorrow to come visit us. There is an excitement in the air as Christmas approaches.
Saying all that, I am just as excited to go to church tomorrow and be with friends that I love. We will sing Christmas carols and parts of the Christmas cantata. We will talk of wise men who traveled and shepherds who heard the news before anyone, of a young couple traveling and trusting. Then church family will be giving out gifts and smiles. We will love each other even more as we are reminded of HIS love. We will be reminded of the greatest gift of all, the gift of Jesus.
IT IS CHRISTMAS!!
