First batch of Christmas cards in the mail...check
Christmas tree up & beautiful...check
Outside lights up and glowing brightly...check
Presents adorned under the tree...oh yes!
A heart preparing to celebrate Jesus' birthday...absolutely!
Ready for Christmas...yep, sure am!
Tonight we all go watch Mr. Aiden sing and recite the Christmas story from memory...what a special night to watch the little kids sing and celebrate! This house is on it this year...we are ahead of the game and ready for Christmas...
I know this year it will be hard...I miss my Mom...but, each time that pang presents itself into my heart...I remember this...my Mother is celebrating Christmas with The King...she gets to sit in His presence and worship Him in ways I cannot wait to do! THAT is a really cool thing. Although I miss her terribly...I know that given the choice she wouldn't come back...she is there...she is in Heaven...and in the presence of The Lord! I'm finding peace knowing that.
From my heart to yours I'm wishing you a HAPPY Christmas...even if it is bittersweet like mine...it's HIS birthday...the day we are all preparing our hearts for. THAT's a big deal!
