I can't believe it's been so long since I've taken the time to write my thoughts down for the day! We've had family in for the holidays, sick kids, family matters to deal with, and . . . when did Christmas get so crazy?!? Through it all, I can gladly say that we have seen God working through it all. We were able to enjoy Christmas Day with family while being a family to our neighbor, a sweet sister in Christ. We've seen Christ's love in our family through forgiveness, grace, mercy, and His love evident in our actions. I am so happy to be a child of the King!
One of my favorite Christmas memories this December was using the magnetic nativity to tell the girls the Christmas story. While our just-turned-two-year-old was more interested in running off with the magnets, our just-turned-three-year-old had so much fun! She helped by placing the magnets on the fridge when it was time (or whenever she wanted) and loved saying the lines of the innkeeper and Joseph. However, we think she mixed the two, because she kept yelling "No babies here! Go to the barn!" when it was time for Joseph to knock on the door of the inn.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration. (If you're a stay at home mom like me, you may have woken up at midnight to fireworks wondering what was going on before realizing that other people still have lives . . . ) Well, I hope to get back to more regular blogging now that some of the craziness is over. I can't wait to see what God has for us this coming year!
